(1) technical / feature / workflow issues. like "i cannot tag easy", "esc leaves mediaviewer instead of fullscreen", "browser zoom (ctrl-/+) does not work". "X takes one click more now". i d love this to be taken into account. while i find design issues more difficult. the whole user experience needs, at least imo, consistency. tinkering here and there may quite heavily break that. better would be to encourage getting alternative full designs. if this would include how to clean the commons page ... but that might be too much :) rupert _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
