 Ho sabies?

Segons les nostres dades, el 88% d'editors actius a les 13 wiki pilot han decidit seguir amb les nostres millores. ,

t'agradaria que la Viquipèdia en valencià/català tinguera la interfície ajustada a les necessitats de lectors i editors ?

Per què ho estem fen?
Estem canviant Viquipèdia per fer d'ella un lloc web més amigable. Quan acabem, la nova interfície d'escriptori serà més fàcil d'utilitzar, més acollidora, i més intuïtiva. També continuarà funcionant com un taller per als col·laboradors. Gradualment estem desplegant les millores en més i més wikis. Ens agradaria que la Viquipèdia en valencià/català també disposara de les millores.

Com funcionen els canvis?

 * Si hi ha acord, les característiques millorades estaran visibles per defecte tant per a aquells amb l'inici de sessió com per a qui ens visita sense usuari.
 * Aquests canvis són per [ Vector] només (és la interfície per defecte). Tots els usuaris de [ Monobook] o altres interfícies no experimentaran cap diferència.
 * Els usuaris identificats podran tornar a la interfície actual de forma individual.
 * No canviarà el contingut de cap article (com es pot vore al gràfic de la dreta). No se supremeix cap funcionalitat.
 * Es canvia una característica a cada moment. Each change is discussed, developed, and deployed separately.
 * After improving all features, we will improve the overall look. We don't have any vision of the final effect.

What changes are we going to make at the beginning?
So far, we have deployed:


 * 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. Language switching is up to 4 times faster!
 * Consolidated user menu - which makes it easier to understand the context of the links. Also, this will allow us to later make the header sticky.
 * Sticky header - focused on allowing access to important functionality (logging in/out, history, talk pages, etc.) without requiring people to scroll to the top of the page.
 * Table of contents - which makes it easier to understand the context of the page, the part of the page that's being viewed, and jump between sections without requiring people to scroll to the top of the page.

We will deploy more features in the next months.

How we collaborate with the communities?
We learn about the readers' and communities' preferences using a variety of methods. You can find all major reports on our Repository page.


 * Prior to building any feature, we perform research with readers and editors. We identify the problems with usability, and base 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 three larger-scale prototype testing rounds (first, second, third). 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 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 also had a similar session last year.

The project I've just introduced is called Desktop Improvements, it's developed by the WMF Web team, and my name is Szymon.
