Looking good, some feedback…
- I think we should explore putting Watch and TOC together, or at least associating them more closely. - tipsy being to the left of, covers the other icons, I'm not sure if we even need it, perhaps we could just rely on regular browser tooltips. - I think that moving the TOC icon over should be animated, currently the snap makes me look up, and is a bit distracting, the opposite of what we want. - I think we can kill the in-line TOC - You can't currently scroll the TOC flyout - Idea : highlight the current section in the TOC flyout - when language list is not collapsable the left sidebar take a long time to go away - Placeholder text and user input is not aligned with each other in search box *Jared Zimmerman * \\ Director of User Experience \\ Wikimedia Foundation M : +1 415 609 4043 | : @JaredZimmerman<https://twitter.com/JaredZimmerman> On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 4:11 PM, May Tee-Galloway <[email protected]>wrote: > Added my comments on mediawiki. > > @Steven: > > No matter how much anyone doesn't like the globe including myself, it's a > huge part of Wikipedia's brand like you mentioned and shouldn't be wiped > out just for the sake of our personal preference.
