No problem. It's something I always forgot to do when editing pages. I took a look back at the EN page and it seems the FuzzyBot updated it shortly after I marked the page for translation. It seems that it performs automatic tasks as a result of translate actions.

I have no clue how the wiki pages work... I'm just trying to understand why there would be two English pages slightly different.  BTW, the titles are still different "Editing Visual Changes in the 2nd & 3rd Edition" vs " Visual Changes in the 2nd Edition "  The non "/en" page also shows comments at the bottom.  Perhaps I'm using the wiki incorrectly.   ;)

We create the "master" pages in English (they have no language suffix in the URL), and then they are used as the basis for the translations. I think the translation module creates/modifies the "/en" pages automatically (I've not been involved in the translation side of things as my native language is English, so have ignored anything to do with it ...) but would have thought the title and comments should also be updated - maybe that's a manual tweak that's required? One of the others who do translations to their own languages can probably advise, although it's probably not something that needs to be discussed here!

Ignore the "/en" pages. They exist only for technical purposes.
I translate WikiCarpedia in Romanian (https://wikicarpedia.com/car/Main_Page/ro). I have 70,000+ edits at WICA. My WICA user page: https://wikicarpedia.com/car/User:Paloi_Sciurala. Romanian translation of WICA: https://wikicarpedia.com/car/Special:LanguageStats?language=ro&x=D#sortable:3=desc.

Circling back around to this thread.  Is the German BB7 the only version with rounded tile cuts?  The tile sheets are laid out differently from the English edition.
Oddly enough the artwork matching between a 2.x expansion and 3.0 doesn't bother me, what bothers me are the squarish tiles used with rounded tiles.  I started my Carcassonne life with the 20th edition set and have now strived to find all rounded tiles to match with it.  I've purchased several things from cundco in C3 (and round), but getting copy of BB7 german imported (even through Amazon) is crazy expensive.  Especially when I just need the tiles, I have the ZMan BB7 English and just don't like the feel  :)

Looking at
It looks like the new Winter Edition V3.0 also has rounded tile corners.

In case someone in the USA is looking for a BigBox with rounded tiles, I ordered the German version from Amazon.de which cost about $45 less than ordering a German version from amazon.com.  I was a little concerned when the package showed up only wrapped in heavy paper, but it it was in better condition having traveled from Italy to the USA than most local package deliveries. 

I was worried I had made a mistake because the German version I received was printed in the Netherlands instead of Germany.  My BB7 Z-Man was printed in the Netherlands and has square tiles.  But the date on the box showed 2024 so who knows.

Well, opening it up and it indeed has the rounded cuts, the sheets appear to be laid out the same as the Z-Man box I have -- not at all like the made in Germany edition (with a punch out score track and blank tiles).

I'm happy now to finally have a nice complete set with rounded corners in C3.   I'm one of those people that the artwork differences between C2/C3 didn't bother me that much, but the feel of the tiles annoyed me to no end.
