Melhorias da Área de Trabalho

Você sabia?

Que de acordo com nossos dados, 88% dos editores ativos das 13 wikis de implementação antecipada decidiram continuar com as melhorias.

Olá. Eu gostaria de atualizá-los em relação ao projeto de Melhorias da Área de Trabalho.

A equipe da Web da Fundação Wikimedia tem trabalhado nisto desde 2019. As metas do projeto eram de criar uma interface útil para usuários avançados e mais confortável para leitores. O projeto consiste de uma série de melhorias que facilitam na leitura e aprendizado, navegação das páginas, busca, seleção de idiomas, utilizar abas de artigos e menu do usuário, e muito mais.

As melhorias já estão visíveis por padrão para leitores e editores em 13 wikis, incluindo as Wikipédias em francês, português e persa.

As alterações afetam somente o tema Vector. Monobook e Timeless não foram afetados.

Recursos implantados até o momento

Até o momento, implantamos os seguintes recursos:

Logo reconfigurado – o que permitirá deixar o cabeçalho fixo no topo da tela. O cabeçalho fixo irá incluir a busca, abas do artigo e menu do usuário.
Barra ocultável – o que permite focar no conteúdo. Em algumas wikis, isto tem sido feito através de gadgets.
Largura do conteúdo limitada em artigos e páginas semelhantes (mas não é páginas especiais ou páginas de registro) – o que facilita leitura e aprendizado. Para mais detalhes sobre estas mudanças, como o que faremos com o espaço vazio ou o que significa para tabelas longas, veja o FAQ.
Moved and improved search - which allows searching more quickly and effectively (provides pictures and descriptions of the search terms).
Exposed language button - which helps to notice the interlanguage links and allows to switch between the languages more often.

How we collaborate with the communities

We do not have one final vision of the interface after the deployment of all changes. Instead, we measure the impact of each change individually. In addition to that, we learn about the communities' preferences using a variety of methods. You can find all major reports on our Repository page.

Prior to building any feature, we performed research with readers and editors. We identified the problems with usability, and based our decisions on the findings of this research (example).
We also perform user research on prototypes of our proposed changes to make sure they address the identified problems (example).
We have run two larger-scale prototype testing rounds (first, second). In these, editors could gain an understanding of our ideas, and share what they appreciate or find confusing.
Shortly after the deployment of each change, we collect data on how readers and editors use the changed functionality. Depending on the feature, we may divide users into two groups where only one can see the change. After the test, we compare the results and establish whether the changed interface works better.
Volunteers have shared feedback on talk pages. This has been taking place on the project talk page, but also on the Village Pumps.
In 2019 at Wikimania, we had a roundtable discussion (outcomes). We are planning to have a similar discussion this year as well.

How to enable the improvements

Preferências globais

It is possible to opt-in individually in the appearance tab within the preferences by unchecking the "Usar Vector legado" box. (It has to be empty.) Also, it is possible to opt-in on all wikis using the global preferences.
If you think this would be good as a default for all readers and editors of this wiki, feel free to start a conversation with the community and contact me.
On wikis where the changes are visible by default for all, logged-in users can always opt-out to the Legacy Vector. There is an easily accessible link in the sidebar of the new Vector.
