Latar belakang dan konteks
Selama dua tahun terakhir, kami melakukan berbagai macam perubahan dan pembaruan tampilan antarmuka. Kami sudah mengatur posisi dari kotak pencarian, ubah bahasa, hingga daftar isi. Selain itu, kami juga merapikan beberapa pranala dan peralatan ke dalam bagian menu. And we have limited the content width, added a sticky header, and moved the page title above the page toolbar. Setelah melakukan beberapa perubahan tersebut, kami berfokus utnuk melakukan pembaruan terhadap tampilan situs web secara keseluruhan. Beberapa pertanyaan yang menjadi pertimbangan kami adalah:
 * Bagaimana kami dapat mengaplikasikan desain visual untuk memperbarui tampilan antarmuka?
 * Apakah sesuai apabila beberapa kulit memiliki "kepribadian" yang unik (misalnya seperti garis biru dan gradasi warna di kulit Vektor Lama)?
 * Apabila terlalu banyak aksen di kulit, apakah akan mengganggu pengguna dan tidak fokus dalam mengakses konten di dalamnya?
 * Apakah memungkinkan bagi kami untuk membuat tampilan antarmuka yang sangat sederhana seperti tampilan situs Wikipedia yang paling pertama?

Dahulu, kami selalu berpikir untuk membuat segala sesuatu secara sederhana dan fungsional. Bisa dikatakan untuk elemen di HTML, tampilan situs webnya sangat sederhana dan mudah bagi mereka yang menggunakan maupun mendesain situs web itu sendiri. Hal ini berarti desain visual yang kami buat memiliki pengaruh hingga saat ini. Kami tidak berkeinginan untuk mengikuti tren dan tidak ingin melakukan perubahan kecil-kecilan setiap tahunnya. Anda bisa melihat sendiri pada tangkapan layar di bawah, bahwa tidak ada perbedaan secara masif di antara kulit Monobook dan Vektor Lama.

Menu
We use several menus in our interface. Thus far our approach to how we style menus has not been consistent. We have an opportunity, with Vector 2022, to develop a more accessible and consistent approach to the styling of our menus. In their most simple form menus have two elements: a menu trigger, and menu items. We're considering blue vs. black (for both the menu trigger, and the menu options), and bold vs. non-bold (for the menu trigger).

Garis tepi dan latar belakang
Should we add borders and backgrounds to help divide up the regions of the interface, and if so how should they look? As we mentioned in the Background and context section above, both Monobook and Vector use backgrounds and borders to separate the interface from the content. Backgrounds and borders can also add personality to the interface. However, it is difficult to know how functional or necessary they are. We've created several options with progressively more/darker borders and backgrounds.

Subjudul yang terpilih/tersorot di bagian daftar isi
The table of contents is now on the (left) side of the article, and is fixed in place so it remains visible as you scroll down the page. A new feature is that the table of contents indicates which section of the article you are currently reading (we call this the "active section"). Currently, following from a pattern used on the Article/Talk tabs, the active section in the table of contents is black, and the non-active sections are blue. We like this pattern because it is simple, not distracting, and used elsewhere. We could also use additional styling to indicate the active section.

Logo di bagian atas
Monobook and Legacy Vector both feature a square Wikipedia logo with a large globe. Given the various changes to Vector 2022 a smaller, rectangular logo in the corner may fit the layout better. However, we wanted to make sure to try various options. Please remember to try these options at various screen sizes, as the balance of the layout shifts depending on your screen size.

Warna pranala
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) have Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. These guidelines define a minimum contrast level for links: "For usability and accessibility, links should be underlined by default. Otherwise, link text must have at least 3:1 contrast with surrounding body text, and must present a non-color indicator (typically underline) on mouse hover and keyboard focus." Since we do not underline links by default, our link color choice must meet the 3:1 contrast requirement. In order to check the contrast of our links with our body text we can use the contrast checker provided by WebAIM.

Additionally, the proposed blue link color is already part of the Wikimedia Design Style Guide, and is used on our mobile websites as well as in various project logos, so we would be gaining consistency.

Ukuran tulisan
The mission of our movement is to provide all of the world's knowledge to as many people as possible. Currently the majority of the knowledge we offer is in the form of text. Research has shown that typographic settings (such as font size, line length, and line height) influence the experience of reading, both in terms of general comfort (i.e. eye strain and fatigue), and comprehension and retention. Therefore it is important for us to use optimal typographic settings in our interface. An important factor to keep in mind when determining what is optimal for our projects is that people engage both in in-depth reading, as well as scanning of text.

In a previous phase of the project we read research studies regarding the line length and concluded that between 90–140 characters per line is optimal for our projects (link to writeup). Recently we have spent time reading research studies about font size. The most convincing, and directly applicable, research we have found thus far is a 2016 study that used eye-tracking to evaluate the affects of font size and line spacing for people reading Wikipedia:

Using a hybrid-measures design, we compared objective and subjective readability and comprehension of the articles for font sizes ranging from 10 to 26 points, and line spacings ranging from 0.8 to 1.8 (font: Arial). Our findings provide evidence that readability, measured via mean fixation duration, increased significantly with font size. Further, comprehension questions had significantly more correct responses for font sizes 18 and 26. These findings provide evidence that text-heavy websites should use fonts of size 18 or larger and use default line spacing when the goal is to make a web page easy to read and comprehend. Our results significantly differ from previous recommendations, presumably, because this is the first work to cover font sizes beyond 14 points.

Firstly, we need to convert the measure used by the researchers (points) into the measure that browsers ultimately render (px). The conversion is: 1px = 72pt / 96. So the range studied in the research (10–26 points) is equivalent to 13.3–34px. Their conclusion, 18 points, is equal to 24px. So should we increase the font size to 24px? The research studied in-depth reading, however people often scan the page in order to find a certain piece of information. This is a different reading behavior, that arguably benefits from a smaller font size than in-depth reading does. Our conservative proposal, taking into account scanning, is to increase the font size to 16px to begin with. (We would be increasing the maximum width of the article as well, from 960px to 1050px.) As a next step, we will plan to conduct our own research to further study font size on Wikimedia wikis.
