The infobox footnote for Harris's birth name was expanded to include information that she was originally named "Kamala Iyer Harris" before her middle name was changed to "Devi" via affidavit two weeks after birth, with a citation added.

A minor text change was made in the audio module label from "Harris's voice" to "Harris' voice," and the `term_end` and `successor` infobox fields had their placeholder comments removed.

What changed

The changes are minor and spread across metadata and citation formatting rather than concentrated in any single content section. The date tag was updated from "July 2024" to "August 2024" in the American English template, and a citation parameter was changed from `work=[[The Mercury News]]` with location and access details to `newspaper=[[The Mercury News]]` with slightly different formatting. The net size reduction of over 15,000 characters suggests additional changes beyond what is visible in this diff snippet, but within the visible portion the differences are limited to these small formatting and metadata adjustments.

An archive URL and archive date were added to the Mercury News citation in the birth name footnote, and the "Use American English" and "Use mdy dates" template dates were updated from July 2020/October 2021 to July 2024.
