: New language switching functionality
Over the past few months, the team has focused on improving the language switching functionality for our projects. Previously, the language links were available at the bottom of the sidebar menu and were difficult to find for readers and new editors. We have made a change that allows the language switching functionality to appear at the top of the page via a button. We have built this functionality based on the input of editors and readers from our prototype and other user testing.

The functionality was deployed to 50% of logged-in users in June of 2021 to allow for the performance of an A/B test that will compare usage to the previous location. Currently, the A/B test is completed and all users on pilot wikis should be able to see the new language switching functionality.

: Prototype testing report coming up
In May and June of 2021, the team requested feedback from 30 different language communities on a prototype of the latest feature ideas for the project. These were the user menu that will allow for users to have their personal links all in one place, and a fixed “sticky” header that gives the ability to access features (e.g. edit, access to history and talk pages) all the time. Both of these were previously only available at the top of the page. Overall, we received 305 replies from logged-in users on their experience with the prototypes.

The large majority of participants indicated positive experience with the prototype. However, we also received some feedback around the behavior of the sticky header. In particular, there were requests to make it persistent throughout the experience rather than triggered only when scrolling. We are currently implementing these suggested changes.

A full report on the analysis of the feedback we received will be published later this month.

: User testing report now available
In early 2021, the Web team and Design Research team contracted three independent research groups to study the usage of two proposed features: a fixed "sticky" header and a persistent table of contents. Our goal was to allow frequently used functionality to be available throughout the page, thus reducing the time people scrolled up and down the page looking for the tools they need. We tested new readers, casual readers, and editors in three different countries - Ghana, Indonesia, and Argentina and three different languages - English, Bahasa Indonesia, and Spanish. This report shows the findings of our studies. Overall, both of the proposed features were positively received by the study participants.

: New search widget live on pilot wikis, A/B test in progress for logged-in users
We are happy to announce that our new search widget is now available on all of our current pilot wikis by default. The new search functionality optimizes the search experience by providing context on search results, such as images and descriptions, making it easier to find the correct results.

We are also performing an A/B test on pilot wikis, for logged-in users only. The A/B test provides the new widget for 50% of logged-in users and compares it to the old search for the remaining 50%. 测试的结果将运行我们测量该特性的成功性，并确定需要改进和迭代的领域. 该测试将进行两周，之后，我们将分析并发表结果.

：新的搜索工具和其他一般更新
在过去的几个月里，我们一直在开发新的搜索小工具，它将通过为搜索提供上下文（如图片和描述）来优化当前的体验. 虽然我们在部署过程中遇到了一些延误，但我们目前计划在2月份进行部署.

我们还开始审查关于整个桌面改进项目以及个别功能的一些数据. 我们发布了一份关于可折叠侧边栏使用情况的报告. 根据数据显示，已注销的用户比已登录的用户更偏好保持侧边栏的折叠状态. 这些结果给了我们信心，我们最终的默认值将是对登录用户保持侧边栏展开，而对注销用户保持侧边栏关闭.

此外，我们还开始研究登录用户在我们的试点维基上选择退出桌面版改进的比率. 所有登录用户的平均退出率在euwiki的1.78%和hewiki的4.09%之间. 对于活跃编者来说，这个范围在5%到14%之间. 我们将在未来几周内更详细地研究这些数据.

最后，我们想给出未来几个月的时间线：


 * 2021年2月：新的搜索小工具部署到试点维基（pilot wikis）上. 试点维基列表将扩大到葡萄牙语维基百科、土耳其语维基百科、韩语维基百科、塞尔维亚语维基百科和德语维基导游.
 * 2021年2月：针对登录用户的第二轮原型测试. 我们将在今年2月对登录用户进行第二轮的固定头部和用户菜单的原型测试. 我们鼓励大家对这些原型进行审查，并向我们反馈！
 * 2021年3月：我们目前的重点是改进语言切换功能. 我们计划在今年3月将新功能部署到我们的试点维基上.

：搜索栏的新位置现于所有维基中可用
我们已将搜索功能的新位置部署到所有项目. 新位置默认对所有早期采用者维基的匿名用户启用，其他用户可通过首选项启用.

我们还在早期采用者维基上对已登录用户进行新位置的A/B测试. 50％的登录用户看到了新体验，而其他50％的用户看到了旧体验. 该测试将持续两周. 我们的假设是，拥有新体验的小组会更频繁地搜索. 结果将在大约一个月内提供.

：可收起的侧边栏、有限制的宽度和新头部现在对euwiki、fawiki、frwiktionary、euwiki和ptwikiversity的所有用户可用
现在，巴斯克语、波斯语和希伯来语维基百科以及法语维基词典和葡萄牙语维基学院都已收到新版本的Vector皮肤. 目前，这些更改包括可折叠的侧边栏、最大宽度和新的头部. 对于反馈和问题——请前往我们的讨论页.

：可收起的侧边栏、有限制的宽度和新头部现在可作为所有项目的选项
现在，我们已经将可收起的侧边栏、最大宽度和新头部作为用户选项部署到所有项目. 要选择加入，请前往偏好设置页面上的外观选项卡，然后取消选中“旧版Vector”选项. 一旦选择加入，您将在它们准备好后立即收到所有未来的更新. 对于反馈和问题——请前往我们的讨论页.

我们的第一个更改是可收起的侧边栏，它允许用户折叠页面左侧的冗长菜单. 我们相信这项变化通过让人们专注于内容本身——阅读、编辑或审核以提高可用性.

我们的第二项更改是为文章页和讨论页等页面的内容引入了最大行宽. 研究表明，限制宽度可以更好地保留内容，同时减少眼睛疲劳. （请查阅我们的FAQ以获取所查阅文献的列表）

：officewiki上的可收起侧边栏、新头部、功能描述
We deployed our collapsible sidebar on officewiki and testwiki. You can see it by going to either of those projects, or by appending the url parameter ?useskinversion=2 to the url on any project.

In addition, we have published more details on the collapsible sidebar and header and logo changes, including in-depth feature descriptions and analysis and measurement plans.
