The Great Basque Redesign
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Basque Wikipedia has been an early and wide adopter of novelties, such as Wikidata powered infoboxes, ORES article assessments sitewide or a fully renewed frontpage. Nowadays, we are eager to have new products, and give new users, specially students, a place where they can read, edit and interact easier.

This project will receive ideas on what can be made and, more important, how. We want to start this redesign process as soon as possible, and having clear ideas is key for this.

Any idea on how to make things happen is welcome.

@Theklan, will you be at the Hackathon in Prague? If so, we need to talk. :)

@Trizek-WMF Yes, I will be there and yes I'm going to buy all of your products.

Some ideas

Reading

Wikipedia

  • Improve sister projects visibility, maybe in the botton. (T234906)
  • Move Wikidata link from "Toolbox" to "Other projects" section. (T223526)
  • Explain how ORES works and give advice on how to get a better assessment (T223521)
  • PDF + Books is broken. (T181084 + T181079)
  • Deploy Wikispeech. Basque language is ready and waiting for the WMSE deployment. (T194014)
  • Make Sitenotice more attractive (T223568)
  • Can we beautify the overall layout, making images more atractive and better presented?
  • Redesign portals entirely, making them more open and visually atractive
  • Research how to add interactive applets (T169027)

Txikipedia

  • Figure out how to make Wikidata links in an efficient way (T223691)
  • Change the heading layout
  • Txikipedia search: directly searching on the namespace (T223537)

Editing

Wikipedia

Txikipedia

  • Inserting PAGEBANNER using VisualEditor (T223795)
  • solve Pagebanner issue (T191689)
  • Easy linking to Txikipedia and show Wikipedia link instead (T223702)
  • Make visual editor the default editor in Txikipedia (covered here: T223705)

Wikiteka (Wikisource)

  • Add namespace for text commentary (maybe Wikibooks is a better place?)

User page

Most of the ideas are covered here: T213990
Following the process is happening here: T223619

  • Universal user page when signing in
  • Avatar integration, showing how Commons work
  • Talk page messages as a forum
  • My annotations (related to annotations software)
  • Watchlist integration
  • Babel when signing in + choose your interests
  • Guided tours for newbies and new features
  • Sandbox+ integration for all user pages with button
  • Suggested actions
  • Suggested wikiprojects to involve in

Now that is ambitious, Theklan! One more suggestion for an easier article search, either in EU WP or all projects, could be to 1. intelligent search by avoidance of spelling confusion (diacritics, capital letters, etc.), or/and 2. search returns by just adding the first letters of the words contained in the article's name, e.g. Sphinx water erosion hypothesis, result delivered by inserting letters or swehyp (six letters).

That is a suggestion. Cheers

All my sections are solved.
