What Wikipedia changed

• The text "en" was removed from the area immediately following the "Search Wikipedia" label and preceding the search button.

The removal of the "en" text fragment near the search bar simplifies the interface. It suggests a move toward a cleaner search experience that may rely more on browser settings or global defaults rather than a visible language indicator in that specific spot.

• Removed a large fundraising section that asked for $2.75 donations.
• Removed a "Thank you for donating" banner that promised to hide ads for one month.
• Removed a detailed explanation about the Wikimedia Foundation's non-profit status and visitor trends.
• Updated article counts for several languages, including English, Japanese, and Chinese.
• Reorganized the footer to prioritize links to sister projects like Wikispecies and Meta-Wiki.

The removal of a large donation appeal and the "thank you" message suggests the end of a specific fundraising campaign or a shift in how they ask for support. This changes the primary visual focus of the homepage from a call-to-action back to search and language options.

• Fixed the Wikivoyage link by adding the full domain address.
• Removed the text "en" that appeared next to the search button.

These are small technical fixes to the homepage. One fix ensures the travel guide link works correctly. The other removes a small text fragment near the search bar.
