[edit] Japanese words in English texts
June 2006 I noticed that the English wikipedia had adopted a new way to offer help to those that might really panic when they see a Japanese word in an English text: a link behind (some or all) Japanese words using (at the time of writing) a bold faced blue question mark.
A way to get rid of the somewhat intruding question marks is to (1) log in (2) create an empty css file of the skin you are using (e.g. User:YourName/monobook.css) and edit and add to that new page:
.t_nihongo_icon {display: none}
As long as the contents of the {{nihongo}} template uses the .t_nihongo_icon class it’s link (currently the questionmark) wil be hidden.
[edit] Chinese Wikipedia
By default the English wikipedia links to a version of the Chinese Wikipedia which displays in simplified Chinese. You can change that by creating an account in the Chinese Wikipedia and selecting another language variant for display on the first page of your preferences (you can change the language of the interface as well). As a bonus, pages of the Chinese Wikipedia will from then on (when you stay logged in) have tabs to switch to other language variants with only one click.

[edit] Correct display of notes
The new superscript notes[1] seem to mess up the lineheight in a lot of browsers. Mzajac has coded a fix for the default skin of Wikipedia. For other skins[2] just remove the #bodyContent ids before sub. Mzajac proposes that you put his fix in your User:YourName/monobook.css (which means you need to remain logged in) but I suppose (when you use Firefox) putting the code in your browsers userContent.css will work just as well. I think it is a bit puristic that the makers of Cite.php simply used the sup tag, even though they know very well that currently that tag is broken in most browsers (making all articles with notes look bad to normal visitors).

[edit] Notes
- ^ A the time of writing the latest method of creating notes in Wikipedia is using built-in support for footnotes (Cite.php). It currently shows a superscript number in the article which links to the text of the note (usually somewhere at the end of the article). Its usage is described here.
- ^ User:YourName/*.css files for skins are:
- monobook (default): monobook.css
- chick: chick.css
- classic: standard.css
- cologne blue: cologneblue.css
- myskin: myskin.css
- nostalgia: nostalgia.css
- simple: simple.css
