This is a demonstration of the new design spearheaded by WikiProject X. It is created as a test case for an upcoming Wikimedia DC event so that we can test the design before a live audience. If this project succeeds as a WikiProject, then terrific! If note, I'll probably archive it in my user space. A couple of notes:
- Please ask before changing around the design elements. This particular layout was very deliberately designed. Of course, it is a work in progress, and your feedback is much appreciated.
- For now, this WikiProject should not be made a part of the article assessment system, which means: (a) please do not create a WikiProject banner and (b) please do not create a dedicated WikiProject category. WikiProject X is developing an alternative to the WikiProject banner, and we would like to limit the amount of "infrastructure" created for this WikiProject.
Enjoy this new WikiProject, and let us know what you think! Harej (talk) 19:37, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Layout
@Harej: I really like the icons for the site subsections! Is it intentional to squish all the content into one skinny column between the image on the left and the box on the right, or is that just a formatting error? - PKM (talk) 21:39, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Isarra should know more about this, but I believe the intent is to create a "right rail" for extra content on the right side of the page (and keeping it "outdented" relative to the rest of the content makes it stand out better). Harej (talk) 21:44, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. Looks a bit funky in portrait mode on the iPad. - PKM (talk) 03:23, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, that is a known issue. Unfortunately Misplaced Pages doesn't make it easy for people to use sophisticated CSS on pages, such as the kind that let you modify the appearance according to criteria such as screen size. I'm looking into making the layout adaptable for mobile interfaces. Harej (talk) 04:32, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

"Link dump"
Also, there's a "link dump" from someone on the Edit-a-thon event talk page. Alisonjo2786 (talk) 23:39, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Expansion ideas
Some ideas for slight expansion of this new project page below. Thanks for creating the new project! North America 05:03, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Add an Article alerts section
- Add a New articles section that lists newly-created articles in this topic area. For an example, see WikiProject Food and drink – New articles, which automatically generates a list of new articles using AlexNewArtBot.
- Add a category tree for Category:Women in technology (example below). This provides readers and editors with a succinct overview of relevant topics.
