Grants:IdeaLab/Easy To Use
Project idea edit
What is the problem you're trying to solve? edit
The interface is too complex. Many people have articles information that they want to share but it is not easy to submit articles on Wikipedia.
What is your solution? edit
If the interface can be changed and simplified, it would be great help to users.
Project goals edit
More number of people will be able to submit articles and knowledgeable stuff on Wikipedia.
Get involved edit
Participants edit
- Developer As a developer, it is my duty to bring the best functionality to designs useful for users, just like me. There is a lot to refine in Wikipedia's interface, so it won't be overwhelming for starters and strangers to the site.
I suggest the final interface should also conform to the existing interface adapted by Wikipedia for Android and iOS, to create a unified Wikipedia experience for all devices. Why the interface for the Wikipedia app? I, as a user personally, believe that the progress done for the application, in terms of the interface, It creates an easy experience for all Wikipedia users, and that is where we want to end up as well. Almost every type of social media with a large audience is taking efforts to create a uniform atmosphere for all users, on all devices available. I believe Wikipedia, being the sixth most visited site in the Internet as mentioned in Jimmy Wales' statement for WikiMedia Foundation fundraising, (correct me if I am wrong), should take the same move to keep up with the next generation of Internet users.
