Thank you for testing! You're right, it doesn't work on
https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org
<https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Barack_Obama>. Apparently,
wikis that have changed the default reference link format and removed the
CSS class mw-cite-backlink don't show these changes. Progress on this issue
will be tracked in

I went to
https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Barack_Obama to try
this out, but unfortunately it does not seem to be active there for
testing.

Hello everyone! I’d like to draw your attention to a software change
coming
to wikis this week:
When you click on a footnote which is referenced multiple times in an
article, it can be hard to find your way back to your reading position in
the text.
This will soon become easier: If you have jumped to a multi-referenced
footnote and want to go back to your previous reading position,
1) you can now click on the *jump mark* at the beginning of the footnote
(in most wikis it's an arrow, in some, like enwiki, it's a caret ^). The
tooltip says "Jump back up".
2) or you can click on the *superscript jump mark* in the footnote. The
one
leading you back to your original position is now
highlighted *bold*.
This second part of the change doesn’t work for wikis where these
superscript jump marks are bold by default, e.g. enwiki. If those wikis
want this highlighting as well, they would need to change their default
style for these superscript jump marks to regular.
Deployment of this change is scheduled for this week’s train [1].
Originating from the German community’s Technical Wishlist, it was made
by
Wikimedia Germany’s Technical Wishes team [2].
Feedback is always appreciated. The best place for it is the project talk
page [3]. More information is available on the project page [4] and on
Phabricator [5].
Best,
Johanna for the Technical Wishes team
