Wikipedia has finally launched a dark mode, one of the most highly-requested features

Wikipedia has finally introduced a highly anticipated dark mode feature, aimed at enhancing accessibility and reducing eye strain for its global user base. This new low-contrast environment is now available on select wikis, accessible on both mobile and desktop platforms, and supports both reading and editing modes.

Wikimedia, the foundation behind Wikipedia, highlighted that implementing dark mode was not straightforward due to the unique challenges posed by the platform's open-edit nature. The project also served as an opportunity to further improve overall accessibility on Wikipedia's website and mobile apps, reinforcing the collective responsibility of maintaining an inclusive user experience.
