: Penelitian Pengguna bersama Para Pembaca - laporan fase 1
Mulai Januari 2020, kami telah bekerja sama dengan Hureo, sebuah perusahaan riset pengguna dari India, untuk melakukan studi pengguna mengenai bagaimana pembaca baru dan kasual menggunakan antarmuka desktop Wikipedia. Hasil fase pertama studi adalah sebuah laporan yang menjelaskan pengamatan mereka dari 24 wawancara pengguna. Baca selengkapnya Studinya dibagi menjadi dua fase, dengan fase pertama berfokus kepada pembaca khusus bahasa Inggris, dan fase kedua berfokus kepada pembaca bilingual dan bahasa non-Inggris. Tujuan studinya adalah untuk memahami pengalaman pembaca baru dan kasual, baik dalam artian apa perasaan mereka tentang situs dan bagaimana mereka menggunakan situs, berfokus khususnya pada konsep kepercayaan dan penyambutan, serta kemudahan penggunaan fitur-fitur yang sering digunakan di situs. Selain itu, kami juga tertarik membuka potensi wilayah perbaikan kemudahan penggunaan baik secara umum maupun untuk fitur spesifik. Kami akan menggunakan hasil-hasil ini untuk membantu mengarahkan pengembangan fitur mendatang untuk proyek peningkatan desktop.

: Hasil lengkap dari umpan balik prototipe
Pada Desember 2019, kami menerbitkan prototipe untuk beberapa fitur pertama dari proyek peningkatan desktop untuk memperoleh umpan balik komunitas. Kami menerima umpan balik terperinci dan bijaksana dari lebih dari 200 pengguna masuk log, di lima bahasa. Kami telah menerbitkan sebuah laporan yang menyoroti poin-poin utama yang disebutkan, baik yang positif maupun negatif, dan rencana kami selanjutnya setelah menerima umpan balik ini. Prototipe ini menghadirkan versi bisa dilipat dari bilah sisi, tata letak dengan lebar yang tetap, dan lokasi yang lebih menonjol untuk pengganti bahasa. Umpan baliknya kebanyakan positif, dengan mayoritas pengguna memandang perubahan yang diusulkan sebagai peningkatan dari desain yang sekarang. Akan tetapi juga ada hal-hal yang dipermasalahkan. Kebanyakan dari masalah yang disebutkan merupakan dampak dari kutu di prototipe (khususnya mengenai menu pengganti bahasa), sedangkan yang lainnya mengungkapkan hal-hal yang bisa diperbaiki yang kami akan ulangi dan/atau perhatikan selama pengembangan.

: Pembaruan pada fitur-fitur awal dan pengurutan keseluruhan fitur

 * Kami telah mulai membangun struktur ikut serta dan tidak ikut serta untuk proyek ini. Pengaturan untuk menyalakan peningkatan akan berada di daftar preferensi pengguna untuk pengguna yang masuk log. Untuk wiki uji coba, peningkatannya akan dinyalakan secara bawaan, tetapi pengguna masuk log akan bisa mematikannya kapan pun melalui preferensi mereka atau tombol di bilah sisi. Tolong lihat halaman Rencana Ikut Serta dan Perilisan untuk detail dan maket lebih lanjut.
 * Kami juga telah menerbitkan daftar terkini fitur yang dipertimbangkan untuk proyek serta urutan pembuatannya yang kami rencanakan. Kami juga akan menguji setiap fitur sebelum membuatnya, daftar ini mungkin diubah berdasarkan umpan balik yang kami terima.

: Feedback Round 1 Summary
We have finished our first round of feedback for the prototype of the first few features of the desktop improvements project: the new header, collapsible sidebar, and improved language switching. So far, the results have been mostly positive, with the majority of users seeing the changes as a significant improvement over the current design. However, we also found a few areas for improvement that we will iterate on and consider during development. Here are a few highlights of the results so far:


 * A majority of the editors who tested the prototype really liked the new location of the language switcher.
 * A few editors raised concerns around internationalization and the ability to switch languages using one click.
 * A majority of the editors liked the collapsibility of the sidebar, especially for readers
 * There were some concerns around the amount of white space introduced with a collapsible sidebar and fixed-width layout
 * We saw many requests for a dark/night mode for the site

We are currently running the second feedback round on English and Polish Wikipedias. If you haven’t had a chance yet, please let us know your thoughts on the prototype page. Once both feedback rounds are completed, we will be publishing a more in-depth report.

: Language Switching Users Tests
In December we did some usability testing to compare the current placement of the Universal Language Selector (in the sidebar) with the proposed location in the article header. We tested a prototype with 21 users in order to determine if people have an easier time switching languages given the new location of the language switcher. The results of the test confirmed our hypothesis — participants in the test group (new location) were able to switch languages more quickly than participants in the control group (old location). Based on these results we plan on continuing to explore moving the language selector to this location as a part of the desktop improvements project.

: Prototype testing
Between December 2019 and February 2020, we will be performing tests on a prototype for the first few features of the desktop improvements project. We will be gathering feedback from a variety of test wikis by encouraging editors to participate using a central notice banner. We ran the banners and received feedback from the majority of our test wikis during December 2019. In February 2020, we will continue running the banners on English and Polish Wikipedias. So far, the feedback we have received is mostly positive but we have also identified some areas of our prototype that we will iterate on based on the feedback. We will be publishing the results of the first round of feedback over the next few weeks, and of the second, sometime in February. In the meantime, we encourage you to give us feedback (if you haven't yet) on the prototype page.

: Technical Research pt 2
We have published the results of our technical research in preparation for beginning the work on the project. In particular, we have focused on gathering more information on the following:


 * The possibility of serving a different version of the site to logged-out users (for opt-in/opt-out and A/B testing purposes)
 * Search and the differences between the current search widgets
 * Language switching and possibilities on improving the language switcher
 * T234907 - A technical RfC on what code-base to start with
 * Changes to EventLogging and how they will impact our work

We reached out to all wikis with a MassMessage, and asked for communities to volunteer to be test wikis for this project.

: Wikimania research report
During Wikimania 2019, we interviewed editors with the goal of sharing the plans for our upcoming Desktop improvements project, and collecting valuable feedback on a number of preliminary design ideas. Our research consisted of user interviews, a free-form feedback exercise, and a presentation with breakout groups for more focused discussion. We have published a report and a PDF summary (in English) of the feedback we received. Overall, we received positive feedback on the focus areas selected, as well as the individual prototypes for ideas. However, we were also able to identify areas for improvements.

We will be iterating over this feedback over the next few weeks and plan on developing a prototype that we can test with a wider audience across wikis.

In the slideshow below is a sample of 19 of the ideas we tested. For more context, please read the full report and then give us feedback on the talk page!

: Desktop usage and behavior data analysis
As a part of our research process, we wanted to learn more about the way people currently use the site. In particular, how often they use available functionality such as links in the sidebar, language switching, and search. We have published our results. Overall, usage of sidebar links is low - only about 0.5% of all logged out users and 1.6% of all logged-in desktop users clicked on one of the pages linked in the sidebar. Language switching usage varied, generally based on the size of the wiki, with smaller wikis switching languages more often.

: Research and brainstorming at Wikimania
Wikimania provided us with the opportunity to speak with experienced members of our communities. Over the five days of the conference we were able to share the plans for the project, and collect valuable feedback on a number of design ideas. Our research consisted of user interviews, a free-form feedback exercise, and a presentation + brainstorming session (you can see the slide-deck we used at the side). We will soon be publishing the summary of the feedback, as well as interview session results.

: Technical Research
To explore different technical possibilities for the project, the team spent a week hacking on different approaches to a single problem - how to enable the sidebar in the desktop experience to be collapsible. We are hoping to use the results from these experiments to determine the technical architecture for the improvements, as well as the skin we would like to build these improvements within. Here is a list of the experiments themselves:


 * Building a collapsible sidebar using a fork of the vector skin
 * Building the desktop sidebar within the Minerva skin. An exploration in the question: "is there a world where we have the same skin for desktop and mobile?"
 * Building a collapsible sidebar using user styles only
