Wikipedia App Design

Taking part
This page contains high-level to detailed thoughts. Do express concerns and advantages to the thoughts below as they help the team make better design decisions. Do suggest improvements as these thoughts are imperfect and loose enough for your ideas to be incorporated and only stronger when that happens. With that said, discussions should not be about whether it's good enough or not / right or wrong, but to help the team flush out concerns.

"'It just does not make sense. I won't want to read this article anymore'" Saying this confuses the team. We would not know how to better the design decision as we do not understand your pain point(s).

"'This might cause a reader to not want to read the article because the text size is too small and leading too tight. I realize my eyes get tired after reading a few sentences. What if you increased the text and leading sizes?'" Giving us more insight, we are able to empathize and become motivated to find ways to address your concern. We look forward to listening to you, happy collaborating!

Rationale
If Wikipedia were a person, he'd know a bit of everything, quite a lot about pretty much everything you'd care to know. If you asked a question hoping for a Y/N answer, you're in no luck. Instead, he tells you neutrally what he knows, giving you dimensions to the answer. He welcomes a debate and wouldn't bow down without a good battle. In short, Wikipedia is geeky about spreading free, neutral, and accurate knowledge. He will do everything to stay that way.



Page 1 : Feed me more knowledge
Also showcase the depth of WP's content and site. * Think of "knowledge" as any kind of media or content a user is dealing with. For example, in the future, I could be checking out someone's user profile: drag pulling horizontally gives me another random profile, swiping vertically gives me similar people. Etc.
 * Drag pull right presents users with a random knowledge.*
 * Drag pull up presents users with a related knowledge (when a user has reached the end of the article, chances are she is interested, so we feed her more of the similar). Related articles can come from WIkiprojects, which surfaces communities and categories. Etc.
 * Drag pull down presents users with results from sister projects.
 * Zooming out gives you a bird's eye view of the entire article with section snippets on the left so a user can see if the content has got he needs, no need to read the entire article to find out.
 * Zooming in reveals how this knowledge came about (history, milestones, who created, etc). We can even go forever zooming in and in to more TMI knowledge.

Page 2 : Navigation Drawers
A dedicated left drawer for in-context contributions. This is also an effort to humanize Wikipedia, surfacing micro to macro contributory actions support the fact that WP is editable. Some ideas for this drawer: Currently in the mobile web, left nav contains a 3 links related to site nav, 2 settings-type links, contribution, and watchlist, whereas the right nav contains notifications. Users who are readers-only don't get much notifications, or at all, aside from Welcome notes. If we have a dedicated and prominent drawer just for contributions, it's more likely that readers turn into contributors. Hence, the idea here is to be able to toggle between site nav/settings and notifications. Only when a user has a notification, upon opening, the drawer will contain a list of notifications. If a user does not have any notifications, the drawer defaults to the site nav/settings view. Right drawer contains: --
 * Presenting article issues
 * Contribute Image
 * Insert source
 * Fixing links
 * Fixing disambiguations
 * Hot-or-not type of contributions
 * Contribute your thoughts: Talk page
 * Current hot topics that are being discussed in the talk page
 * Current effort in improving the article to achieve FA
 * Link to profile
 * Home
 * Nearby
 * Random a.k.a. Get WikiLost!
 * Watchlist
 * Settings
 * On toggle: Notifications

Page 3 : Humanize Wikipedia & More contributions
When a user is reading an article and while another user just submitted an edit to the same article, the contribution button turns into a puzzle piece and drops out of its place as a little alert. In the case of when the top navigation bar has scrolled off the screen, the puzzle piece will appear on its own without the rest of the bar. Tapping on it gives the user information of the edit/alert. The button will also turn into a puzzle piece when there is any article issues upon landing at the article.

Page 4 : Contribution overlay
This is a crazy idea. What if instead of a left contribution drawer, users drag the contribution button to the right and a "contribution overlay" comes to view. This way, users can see exactly where they can help literally in-context. A user would then tap on an area and start contributing!?

Page 5 : Drag to Contribute
Another crazy idea. What if upon tapping with a little bit of drag, a user starts to see blue overlays indicating where he can edit. Just drag and drop to start contributing.

Page 6 : Tap & Tell
The current problem on mobile web is the superscript citation/notes numbers are small targets to tap on. We could solve this by letting users tap on any part of the content and to show the source or notes.

Page 7 : How did I get here?
Instead of a "History" page where it shows your browsing history, a "How did I get here?" page tells you how exactly you went from one article to another by showing which link you clicked on, if you arrived at an article from getting WikiLost or pull-dragged-up to another related article. We also talked about showing a timeline on the left of the screen.

Possibility of browsing history (if enabled), saved for offline reading articles, watchlist items to be synched with desktop browsers.

Name:missionary sisters of st Theresa servant of Christ passion.(stsp)

The congregation is a Catholic institution of religious apostolic missionaries of pontifical.

This religious institutions had it's limitation period from 1893 and from 1926 to 1992. It was approved as religious congregation for Africa mission. The founder and her co-founder began a dark road,difficult ideas in 1893 very New that the Holy spirit inspired the m. Theresa to host young women in gestation to avoid the danger of abortion. She acquire the habit of mediating daily compromising the passion( road of cross) who cannot see Christ on the cross and sit back without consoling him "by doing good". It was in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Have to combine religious life with this difficult apostolate,Recall that until the early twentieth century,after the civil war the single woman was not allowed to exercise the profession of obstetrics: necessarily had to be married or widowed. Much less is understood that it could access a nun garments cannot tear us or judge our mentality today.in every age, including our own, is enough it's timely moment to apologize and forgive. Thought, as the Popo John Paul says it cannot hide the persecution of the saints. A church touches discern the charisma within the molds canonist and pastoral patterns each time in vic the levitical city(so it was called by the large number of priest)had conspired against m.Theresa and her strange project. Only the bishop Monseigneur Joseph morgades and Gili,and two priest approved the work.The co- funder bishop Monseigneur Joseph morgades and mother Benedict's Louisa was brought by the bishop to join in the foundation. After the death of m Theresa the foundation was a test for her steadfast until death addition, political and social level as a time is not reassuring!" The earliest wars which were particular incidents in Catalonia, the dissatisfaction of employees and working early strikes, etc....But God is above all human integrues and is acting; writing every crooked lines straight. Not to prolong the story of the mother,co-founders and the foundation which was very dense, says that the basic problem was the simultaneity the religious and the apostolate that carries the charisma that the Holy Spirit wanted to implant in his church. Nevertheless, the problem was becoming serious. Ah what a wonderful wisdom of God to inspire the most opportune moment in their charisma and choose who he want to collaborate in the execution of work. She died without seeing the stsp approved. Prophet of her time, it was like Moses sees the promised land from afar, but failed to achieve it. Only 20 years after accepting a congregation of diocesan right and in 1983,Pope John Paul 11 granted papal approval. Would seem to be the pope of the congregation for money as he had manifested so hard in defense of life of the unborn. But what a special charisma! To Become a consular of Christ passion which we have given our generous response to follow Christ in " eternal work of mercy" in taking public vows formula that was issued by the founders and her first companions. Giving life only life you get, and when this goal explicitly, we deal with his media's achieved: call for the gift of fortitude and true charity.

Saved Pages vs Browsing History
Saved pages have been explicitly declared as somewhat interesting by a user because they want to go back and read them. Main functionality of the saved pages queue that should be covered in the MVP.

Areas to experiment with

How might we show trails (How you came to this article)

Is it worth surfacing micro-contributions in this queue so a user is aware of how to contribute?

Does the system remember my fold or what part of the article I was in?

Browsing History has a weaker engagement use case than Saved pages. We should try to design this in a way that code gets re-used and both pages (Saved and history) look like a meta-set.

Other things to think about for MVP Visual Cleanup

 * 1) Re-styling Disambiguation- Instead of the traditional text, we can create an affordance with the user
 * 2) Removing Page issues from the article content
