= Aggiornamento sulle migliorie all'IU desktop =

Vorrei aggiornarvi sulle ultime novità del progetto Migliorie all'IU desktop. Il team web della Wikimedia Foundation ci sta lavorando fin dal 2019. L'obiettivo del progetto è di rendere l'interfaccia utente (IU) per desktop più accoglienti per i lettori e accrescerne l'utilità e mantenerla per gli utenti esperti. Il progetto consiste in una serie di migliorie delle funzionalità che rendano più facile leggere e capire, navigare tra le pagine, fare ricerche, passare da una lingua all'altra, usare i tab delle voci e il menu utente, e altro ancora.

Le migliorie sono già visibili di default per i lettori e i contributori di 13 wiki, incluse le wikipedie in francese, portoghese e persiano. Stando agli ultimi dati, 88% dei contributori attivi dei 13 wiki ha deciso di mantenere le nostre migliorie.

I cambiamenti riguardano solo l'interfaccia [ Vector]. Gli utenti di [ Monobook] or [ Timeless] non sono coinvolti.

Funzionalità distribuite finora
Fino ad ora, abbiamo distribuito le seguenti funzionalità:


 * Logo riconfigurato - che ci permette di fissare l'header (bloccarlo in alto sullo schermo) L'header fisso includerà la barra di ricerca, i tab delle voci, e il menu utente.
 * Barra laterale ripiegabile - che permette di concentrarsi sul contenuto Su alcuni wiki, era già presente come gadget.
 * Larghezza del contenuto limitata nelle voci e nelle pagine simili (non le pagine speciali o le altre pagine che contengono i log) - che rende più facile la lettura e la comprensione. 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). We are planning to have a similar discussion this year as well.

How to enable the improvements

 * It is possible to opt-in individually in the appearance tab within the preferences by unchecking the "" box. (It has to be empty.) Also, it is possible to opt-in on all wikis using the global preferences.
 * If you think this would be good as a default for all readers and editors of this wiki, feel free to start a conversation with the community and contact me.
 * On wikis where the changes are visible by default for all, logged-in users can always opt-out to the Legacy Vector. There is an easily accessible link in the sidebar of the new Vector.
