tl;dr : The navigation tabs at the top of pages like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Henri_Rousseau_009.jpg, are soon
going to look like
http://deployment.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:16001000395904-Kirun…
This is a small change, but its a UI change, so I thought a mail to
wikitech-ambassadors couldn't hurt.
Thanks. A nice change, looks even better in monobook. :)

I like this direction we're taking in making tabs more informative (cf.
[[User:This,_that_and_the_other]]
recently made a cool change to how the tabs of image pages on local
wikis (wikipedia, etc) for files on commons, work. Previously such a
page displayed a "create" tab, and generally looked like what the tabs
look like for a page that doesn't exist. For example, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Henri_Rousseau_009.jpg . After this
change there will be tabs for "View this image on Wikimedia Commons"
and "Create local description" (or "Edit local description" if it
already exists). There will be no changes to file pages at commons, or
the file pages of locally uploaded files.
The change is part of 1.23wmf22, and will probably go live on April 10
to
test.wikipedia.org/test2.wikipedia.org/mediawiki.org, non-wikipedia
sister projects on April 15, and Wikipedias on April 17. (See
deployment calender at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.23/Roadmap#Schedule_for_the_depl…
for details on the deployment schedule )
You can view a screenshot of what it will look like at

. You can test it out for real right now at beta wiki
