Thread:Project:Current issues/Adding a dev namespace for "Data and developer hub" articles/reply (17)

There is no lack of web design articles about navigation bars concluding that less is more. Find and see is just the beginning. Focusing on the content and navigating to next destinations comes next. In this sense, mediawiki.org's sidebar offers no benefits and many distractions to our target audience of third-party developers.

The problem with our expanded sidebar with 29 links is not only that these links can be distracting and unrelated to the topic of the page. These links have a high potential of being confusing for these third-party developers, because they include labels that might appeal to them with different meanings i.e. "User help", "FAQ", "Technical manual", "Support desk", "Sandbox".
