Jos Damen PS As an ardent Wikipedian, I totally agree with Grossman 2014 (Wikiwand): "It didn’t make sense to us that the fifth most popular website in the world, used by half a billion people, has an interface that hasn’t been updated in over a decade. We found the Wikipedia interface cluttered, hard to read (large blocks of small text), hard to navigate, and lacking in terms of usability." 2017-03-01 9:33 GMT+01:00 Jos Damen <[email protected]>: > When creating a new article, the term will apparently change from Save to > Publish. > > When Editing an existing article, the term is now *Save*.
