In a way, I do agree with you. There are just not that many good articles or discussion pages one can skim without scrolling anyway. For articles, I think if we manage to have a layout where text leaves space for margins that can be filled with images or other media, notes and infoboxes, we can hit two birds with one stone: fill that precious screen space and make the text more legible. -- Denis Moyogo Jacquerye _______________________________________________ Design mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design
