Why are we doing this?
To allow readers to see a preview of Wikipedia content on their phones on sites outside Wikipedia and its sister projects,
Main features
- A card that displays a summary preview of the first sentence from the summary section of a Wikipedia article
- The card appears at the bottom of a phone screen
- Where a lead image is available, it shows a thumbnail of the image
- Where an article has no lead image, the card shows text only
- The card includes Wikipedia branding
- The card has a CTA that can redirect user to read full article on Wikipedia
- The card has licensing information
Interactions
- A user can tap on a hyperlink on a website to view the preview card
- A user can tap outside the card to close it
- Card can be dragged up to show slightly more information from the summary of an article
- When the card is dragged up, it can also show multiple images from the article
- Card can be an image only experience
- When there is no summary section of an article, no preview is shown
FUTURE: A user can select settings to decide if they want to see the preview or not
Functionality
