new skin being worked on by [[User:Tarquin|Tarquin]] |
|||
'''The casual reader: Giza''' |
|||
The way things are going, I am doing 2 versions: |
|||
* "Paddington", a redesign of the current '''Phase III''' skin |
|||
* [[Montparnasse skin]] a new design for the default skin, fairly lean on features, so newcomers can quickly get their bearings |
|||
This is proposed to be the default layout of Wikipedia. |
|||
Please add comments here. |
|||
Clarity is the key. The casual reader is looking for information. This template must: |
|||
* work on all browsers, all platforms. The goal for old browsers is "usable, maybe ugly". |
|||
* give links for readers a greater priority than links for editors, possibly even omitting editing links completely or having them only in the page footer. |
|||
[http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/misc/wp/giza-3.html Test version] |
|||
== Current version == |
|||
* http://meta.wikipedia.org/upload/0/00/Paddington-2.html |
|||
(Note that you can't see it directly because HTML files are sent by the server as text for security. You'll need to dowbnload it.) |
|||
Comments are welcome on the talk page. |
|||
Note this is still a '''work in progress'''! |
|||
== Design Goals == |
|||
(note that these are up for debate too) |
|||
* The following need to be clearly visible: |
|||
** name of site |
|||
** language links |
|||
** "edit this page" |
|||
* less clutter |
|||
* maybe give the groups of links in the sidebar little headings, eg "site links", "this article", "my settings" |
|||
== Experimental live version == |
|||
Log in to the [http://test.wikipedia.org/ test wiki] and select Paddington. It sort of works, but it's very incomplete and buggy. |

The casual reader: Giza
This is proposed to be the default layout of Wikipedia. Clarity is the key. The casual reader is looking for information. This template must:
- work on all browsers, all platforms. The goal for old browsers is "usable, maybe ugly".
- give links for readers a greater priority than links for editors, possibly even omitting editing links completely or having them only in the page footer.
