Responsible for the reading experiences on the web for the Wikimedia projects
|
The Web team is in charge of the reading experiences on the web for the Wikimedia projects. As part of Core Experiences, we work closely with the Growth and Editing teams.
Check out our repository and learn more about:
- Our software component responsibilities
- The mobile web interface
A few years ago, our team would use the names Reading Web or Readers Web, and before that (until 2015-ish) Mobile Web. You may still find these names used in the documentation.
Current projects
Preference Persistence For Anonymous Users
We need the ability to store preferences for anonymous users. We are working through the Technical decision making process to define when and how to do this.
Desktop Improvements
We have built out improvements to the desktop experience based on research and existing tools. Our goals have been to make wikis more welcoming to new readers and editors, and easier and quicker to use for all (both newcomers and veteran editors). The new skin is currently named "Vector (2022)".
