Wikipedia, the beacon of knowledge in a sea of digital noise, has finally embraced the dark side. That’s right, dark mode has arrived to help you navigate the depths of obscure information without straining your eyes.
In a world where dark mode became a trend circa 2019-2020, Wikipedia stood out as a blinding beacon of light. But fear not, night owls and late-night browsers, for the iconic site now offers a dark “Color” setting to guide you through its vast expanse of articles.
After much anticipation, dark mode has officially landed on Wikipedia, thanks to the dedicated efforts of its community. Whether you’re browsing on desktop or mobile, switching to the dark side is now just a click away.
To activate dark mode on desktop, simply look for the “Color (beta)” button in the right-hand sidebar. On mobile, navigate to the Settings menu via the hamburger button and select your preferred color scheme. Choose from Light, Dark, or Automatic, which adjusts based on your system settings.
While dark mode is still in beta, it’s already making a splash on user-facing pages. The journey to bring this feature to life wasn’t easy, with many technical challenges standing in the way. But perseverance paid off, as dark mode emerged as the most-requested feature in Wikipedia’s Community Wishlist Survey for 2023.
The road to dark mode was paved with obstacles, from hard-coded color styles to intricate design elements. But after years of development and countless bug fixes, Wikipedia has finally flipped the switch on this highly anticipated feature.
So whether you’re delving into the depths of human history or exploring the wonders of the natural world, Wikipedia’s dark mode is here to guide your way. Embrace the darkness and illuminate your mind with knowledge like never before.
