= Desktop Improvements update =  ''' Did you know? '''

According to our latest data, 88% of active editors of the 13 pilot wikis have decided to keep our improvements.

I wanted to give you an update about the Desktop Improvements project.

The Wikimedia Foundation Web team has been working on it since 2019. The goals of the project are to make the interface useful for advanced users and more comfortable for readers. The project consists of a series of feature improvements which make it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, use article tabs and the user menu, and more.

The improvements are already visible by default for readers and editors on 13 wikis, including Wikipedias in French, Portuguese, and Persian.

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

Features deployed so far
So far, we have deployed the following features:


 * Reconfigured logo - which will allow us to make the header sticky (fixed at the top of the screen). The sticky header will include the search, article tabs, and the user menu.
 * Collapsible sidebar - which allows to focus on the content. On some wikis, this has been a gadget.
 * Limited content width in articles and similar pages (not special pages or other pages containing logs) - which makes reading and learning easier. For more details about this change, like what we would do with the empty space or how this relates to large tables, see our FAQ.
 * Moved and improved search - which allows searching more quickly and effectively (provides pictures and descriptions of the search terms).
 * Exposed language button - which helps to notice the interlanguage links and allows to switch between the languages more often.

How we collaborate with the communities
We do not have one final vision of the interface after the deployment of all changes. Instead, we measure the impact of each change individually. In addition to that, we learn about the communities' preferences using a variety of methods. You can find all major reports on our Repository page.


 * Prior to building any feature, we performed research with readers and editors. We identified the problems with usability, and based our decisions on the findings of this research (example).
 * We also perform user research on prototypes of our proposed changes to make sure they address the identified problems (example).
 * We have run two larger-scale prototype testing rounds (first, second). In these, editors could gain an understanding of our ideas, and share what they appreciate or find confusing.
 * Shortly after the deployment of each change, we collect we collect data on how readers and editors use the changed functionality. Depending on the feature, we may divide users into two groups where only one can see the change. After the test, we compare the results and establish whether the changed interface works better.
 * Volunteers have shared feedback on talk pages. This has been taking place on the project talk page, but also on the Village Pumps.
 * In 2019 at Wikimania, we had a roundtable discussion (outcomes). 本年中にこの関連の協議を行う予定です.

改良点を反映するには

 * ウィキ単位で有効にするには、それぞれの個人設定ページを開き〈表示 appearance〉タブの「」のボックスのチェックを外してください. （白色にします. ） さらにグローバルな個人設定を指定すると、全てのウィキで選択が一意に有効になります.
 * 本ウィキにおいてこれが閲覧者や編集者全員にふさわしく、既定で にしてよいとお考えの場合は、ぜひコミュニティとの合意形成に取り掛かったり私へのご連絡をご検討ください.
 * ウィキによっては変更点を規定で全員に開示しており、ログイン利用者はこの場合も選択肢をいつでも旧来のベクター（Legacy Vector）に戻すことができます. 新しいベクター外装のサイドバーには、見つけやすいリンクを置いてあります.
