Desktop Improvements update
.

I wanted to give you an update about the Desktop Improvements project, which the Wikimedia Foundation Web team has been working on for the past few years. Our work is almost finished! 🎉

The goals of the project are to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. В проекте содержится ряд улучшений, которые облегчат чтение и изучение Википедии, навигацию по странице, поиск, переключение между языками, использование разделов статьи, пользовательского меню и многих других элементов.

The newest features

 * Page tools - now, there are two types of links in the sidebar. There are actions and tools for individual pages (like Related changes) and links of the wiki-wide nature (like Recent changes). We are going to separate these into two intuitive menus.
 * Table of contents - our version is easier to reach, gain context of the page, and navigate throughout the page without needing to scroll. It is currently tested across our pilot wikis. It is also available for editors who have opted into the Vector 2022 skin.

Как включить улучшения

 * It is possible to opt-in individually in the appearance tab within the preferences by selecting "". Такую же опцию можно включить в глобальных настройках для всех разделов.
 * В тех разделах, где изменения включены по умолчанию, зарегистрированные пользователи могут переключится на Vector. Для этого есть легко доступная ссылка на боковой панели.

Making this the new default
The improvements are already visible by default for readers and editors more than 30 wikis, including Wikipedias in French, Portuguese, and Persian.

We would love to see these improvements become the default for readers and editors across all wikis. In the coming weeks and months, we will begin conversations on more wikis, including yours. 🗓️ We will gladly read your suggestions! In the meantime, we will complete building all the major changes.

The changes apply to the [ Vector] skin only. [ Monobook] or [ Timeless] users are not affected.

Banner announcement
Over the next few weeks, we'll be encouraging editors to try out the new interface. Some of you will notice a banner. We would like more and more people to use our skin and share opinions. We will be using this feedback to work the final touches for the project. If you have not yet had a chance to look at and interact with the new interface, we welcome you to do so.
