Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/roa-tara

Onne passate 12 anne da quanne avène destribbuite 'u teme predefinite de Uiccimedie de osce a die (Vector). Jndr'à l'urteme decennie l'inderfacce ha state arricchisciute cu estenziune, gadget e Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Interface/JavaScript. 'A maggiorparte de chiste non g'ere coordinate visivamende o 'mbrà le uicchi. Jndr'à 'u stesse tiembe, 'u design d'u web e le aspettative de le letture e de le utinde onne cangiate. Penzame ca ave arrevate 'u mumende de pigghie quacchedune de ste idee e carresciarle jndr'à l'esperienze predefinite de tutte le utinde, sus a tutte le uicchi, jndr'à 'nu mode organizzate e coerende.

L'obbiettive nuèstre jè quidde de fà le uicchi Uicchimedie cchiù accogliende e ausabbele pe le letture, stepanne 'a lore utilità pe le condrebbuture esistende. Mesurame l'aumende d'a fiduce e d'u sendimende positive respette a le nostre site e a' lore performance (p.e. l'ause de struminde comune cumme 'a barre de recerche e le collegamiende inderlènghe).

Mò, sus 'a maggiorparte de le uicchi, sulamende le utinde reggistrate ponne partecipà individualmende. Sus a certe uicchi, le cangiamiende nuèstre sò 'mblemendate pe tutte de base e le utinde reggistrate ponne scacchià de disattivà (opt-out). Stè aumendame 'u numere de uicchi addò Vector 2022 jè 'u teme predefinite, 'nzigne a quanne le miglioramende nuèstre avènene attivate de base sus a tutte le uicchi.

Mò, l'inderfacce...
'''...non ge corresponne a le aspettative. ...jè disordinate e manghe induitive. ...non ge mette in evidene l'aspette comunitarie. ...non g'è coerende cu 'a versione mobbile.'''


 * 1) L'inderfacce desktop, non ge corresponne a le aspettative ccrejate da le piattaforme web moderne. Ce se sende disoriendate e disconnesse. Le collegamiende de navigazzione e 'nderfacce sò organizzate a uecchije.
 * 2) Stu casine non ge face congendrà le utinde sus a quidde ca avèrene a ffà. Jè comblecate pe le letture congendrarse sus a 'u condenute. Pe lore non g'è possibbele cangià lènghe jndr'à 'nu mode induitive, cercà condenute o cangià le 'mbostaziune de letture. Le condrebbuture nuève non ge sò in grade de ausà 'a lore 'nduizione pe 'mbostà 'u probbie cunde, aprì l'editor o 'mbarà a ausà le pàggene ca non ge sò vôsce pa moderazione.
 * 3) A very small percentage of readers understand how Wikimedia wikis function. Many readers are not aware that the content they are reading is written by volunteers and updated frequently, or that they can potentially contribute as well.
 * 4) The large difference in experiences among our desktop interface, apps, and the mobile web, makes it difficult for readers to connect our products. There is a lack of unity in the concept of Wikimedia sites.

Principles
''' We do not touch the content. We do not remove any functionality. We do not change skins other than Vector. We are inspired by the existing gadgets. We do not make major changes in single steps. '''


 * 1) We are working on the interface only. No work will be done in terms of styling templates, the structure of page contents, map support, or cross-wiki templates.
 * 2) Though our changes are easily noticeable, we are taking an evolutionary approach and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors. Each feature is discussed, developed, and deployed separately.
 * 3) Elements of the interface might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain.
 * 4) Skins other than Vector are out of the scope of our adjustments. We have frozen Vector to Legacy Vector, and begun deploying our features as parts of the new default Vector.
 * 5) We have analysed many wikis and have noticed many useful gadgets. Some of them definitely deserve to be surfaced and be a part of default experience.
 * 6) Both prior to development and after deployment, we collect data (via A/B testing, prototype feedback rounds, etc.). In the case of significantly negative results, we will roll back our changes.
 * 7) It is our intention to test our improvements in collaboration with a diverse set of volunteering early adopter wikis, both Wikipedias and sister projects.

Deployment plan and timeline
The skin is now ready to become the default on any wiki.
