VANDALS RULE
Reasons behind the changes
- Navigation box -- repurposed as a reader-oriented set of browsing links
- Featured articles replaced by Featured content
- Portals and Categories links added
- Interact box -- created, to seperate the non-encyclopedic sidebar links
- Questions link added
- changed "Donations" link target from WikiMedia:Fundraising#Donation methods to WikiMedia:Fundraising. (allowing people to read a bit about why and how to make a donation, before being confronted with credit card details.)
- Toolbox --
- separated the contextual/local links (top) from the fixed/global links (bottom)
- moved the Recent changes link to here, from the navigation box, as contextually appropriate.
- reorganised to place "Cite this article" and other reader-oriented links at the top. (a straight reversal of current ordering)
There are a number of links that could have been included, but were left out of this redesign draft for various reasons. Primarily, to keep the initial redesign simple, and agreeable-to by all, but also because many of them are not currently at a suitably high-standard. We envision some/many of them being added at a future time (it's easier to add links later, than to re-argue them at each draft stage).
Toolbox variants - for user pages, and other instances
On user pages ("Cite this article" is replaced by "User contributions" and "E-mail this user")
toolbox- User contributions
- E-mail this user
- Permanent link
- Printable version
- Related changes
- What links here
On special pages
and so on, for the "Block user", "rss atom", and "trackbacklink" links.
