Design/Archive/Wikimedia User Interface/Analysis

This is a list of pages, each dedicated to an interaction concept in our wikiverse. Each page tries to find a more higher level definition of the concept. It should try to answer questions like:

• Why was it created/added
• How does it work
• What/who does it interact with
• What are it's building blocks
• What is it good/bad at

The point of these exercises is to be able to design software that interacts, improves or disrupts these concepts, with understanding. Many of these concepts will be focused on Wikipedia (and the english one at that), but the gist will remain true across many wiki's.
