Osmand+ 3.8.3, Android 10, England.

I didn't notice when it started, but I can't see any wikipedia downloads  in Download_Maps>All_Downloads. I've waited at least two weeks before mentioning it.

Wikipedia for England is still functioning fine in the app with the file I downloaded long ago, and I can still see it in Download_Maps>Local. If I move that file, the functions stop, so it is not that wikipedia has been incorporated into the main map download.

I don't see any wikipedia at https://osmand.net/list.php either. I searched for github issues but haven't found any mention.

I'm puzzled! I'd be amazed if the devs have missed this if it's a problem, yet I'm concerned that new users might not have the files they need - offline wikipedia is a REALLY great feature of OsmAnd.

I'm not inconvenienced by this, just trying to help!

I can still see it if this is what you mean.

I'm also on 3.8.3 and Android 10
Similarly, for one I've not downloaded:

Ah! Thanks, Tom. I don't know if something changed (perhaps only in my brain...) but for some reason I was expecting to see them higher up in the menu  hierarchy. 

Thanks again!

Yeah, I wasn't sure where I'd find them and half expected something higher level. It makes sense to have everything for one place together though, so if it is a change, well done devs!
