It would be great to package up the awesome work that the Wikivoyage community has been doing on page banners. Sadly these page banners are restricted by the template system and to be truly mobile friendly/performant we would need to package it up as its own separate extension. The banner images would use JavaScript to determine the best banner size to use for the current device. The source of the image would be configurable. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P948 for Wikivoyage. Let's make this happen! Note: The mobile web team is currently interested in this for mobile projects. - Primary Mentor: @JDlrobson - Co-mentor: @Nicolas_Raoul - Estimated time for a senior contributor: - Skills needed: - PHP development - Mediawiki development - Git usage - Familiar with Wikidata, at least as a user - Daily reporting - Microtasks: - {T44913} - {T56085} Phases of the project (draft): 1) Set up a test MediaWiki server on Labs 2) Create an extension that shows a hardcoded banner on all pages (desktop website) 3) Modify this extension to take the banner from Wikidata 4) Create a user interface that allows anyone to modify a banner directly from the wiki 5) Set up a second MediaWiki server on Labs, and set up the extension on it 6) Install the extension on a live small Wikivoyage, which one will be decided in a few months 7) If time allows, imagine and implement a way to override a article's banner locally, probably within the wikicode or with a special Wikidata variable
