Problems
Inuka team identified areas of improvements that could enhance the functionality, user interface, and overall reader experience of the Wikipedia Preview plugin. These improvements include:
- Making the Wikipedia Preview thumbnail clickable to provide a more intuitive interaction.
- Showing images available in the preview within its default window to enrich the preview content without requiring the "Continue reading" action.
- Avoiding redundancy by not showing the thumbnail image as part of the gallery available below the Wikipedia Preview text.
Design:
➡️ If an article has no images then do the following
- Display a preview with just the wordmark.
➡️ If an article has 1-2 images then do the following
- Display a preview with Thumbnail.
- Use lead image as Thumbnail.
- Thumbnail should be clickable, opening into media viewer for more details.
➡️ If an article has 3 or more images then do the following
- Implement a horizontal scrolling carousel that allows users to browse through the images. These should be clickable, opening into media viewer for more details.
➡️ Scrolling behavior
- Ensure the thumbnail grid and single thumbnail, along with the Wikipedia wordmark, are fixed at the top.
- Allow text to scroll behind these fixed elements.
Notes: During development, we will experiment with adjusting the sizes of thumbnails, fade effects, and other visual elements to optimize the preview popup layout.
Test Scenarios:
- Test the clickability of the Wikipedia Preview thumbnail.
- Evaluate the visibility of displaying images within the default preview window.
- For no image article, we only show Preview with wordmark.
- For 1-2 images we show thumbnail.
- For 3 or more images we show horizontal scrollable gallery below the wordmark.
Acceptance Criteria:
- The thumbnail in the Wikipedia Preview is clickable.
- Images are integrated into the default preview window.
