Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Fourth prototype testing

In our last prototype we presented the new location for the table of contents. The large majority of readers and editors gave us positive feedback. However this change comes with a challenge that many editors mentioned in their feedback: what to do with the main sidebar menu? Below is our proposal for how to address this. We have split the menu into two parts: global navigation, and page tools, and we have moved the page tools to the other side of the page. If you're interested, read more information on how we arrived at this proposal.

Instructions

 * 1) Please open the prototype in a new tab (on a desktop or laptop computer).
 * 2) Create a new section on this page using the form below (it will be pre-filled with the questions for you to respond to).
 * 3) Fill in your feedback about the prototype in your newly created section.

⚠ Keep in mind that this is a prototype and the links outside of the currently tested functionality will not work, and there might be other bugs or quirks that you’ll come across.

⚠ The "new section form" unfortunately isn't compatible with the VisualEditor (VE). If you are using the VisualEditor, please manually create a new section and copy & paste the feedback questions (listed below).

⚠ While testing, we would like you to focus on the new presentation of the table of contents. However, feedback and ideas of all types and on any functionality are also welcome.

ⓘ If you would prefer to send feedback via email, please contact Olga Vasileva at olga@undefinedwikimedia.org.

Preview of Feedback Questions

 * 1) Please take a moment to look around the page and locate the "  " and “  ” links. If you are unable to find them please let us know.
 * 2) We have moved the page tools to the other side of the page (opposite from the sidebar). What do you think of this new location for these tools? If you don’t like this can you tell us why not, and what you would prefer instead?
 * 3) Please focus on the sidebar, above the new table of contents. As noted in the introduction, we’ve split the old sidebar into two menus: wiki navigation and page tools. What do you think of this split? Are there items you think are in the wrong menu? Are there items that are missing?
 * 4) Please try collapsing and then pinning the wiki navigation menu. What do you think? Do you think this menu should be open or collapsed by default? Remember, the state of the menu will be persistent between pages, so if you collapse it it will stay collapsed.
 * 5) Please try collapsing and then pinning the page tools menu. What do you think?
 * 6) We have also flipped the order of the page title bar and page toolbar/tab-bar. What do you think of this new order? Do you have any concerns?
 * 7) Do you often use tools for advanced users? If no, you can skip this question. If yes, please click on the checkbox in the lower right corner called “Advanced tools” in order to enable them in the prototype. You see a list of links inspired by the MoreMenu. What do you think of the placement of these tools with the other page tools? If you don’t like this can you tell us why not and what you would prefer instead?
 * 8) Navigate to the talk page of this article. What do you think of this experience? Is it important to have easy access to page tools on this page? If not, what do you think we should do with page tools on Talk pages?
 * 9) Please add any final thoughts, ideas, or questions.
