====4. What changes will be made before deployment?==== Our request for you is to '''review the list below and let us know if it looks correct in your opinion'''. What should be added? What should be removed? Do you have any questions on what each of these items will and will not include? As a part of these conversations, we plan on placing requests into three categories. This categorization is based on our research, previous conversations with communities and prototype testing, as well as the feedback we received from all of you last week. These categories are flexible. We need your feedback to move something from one category to another, as well as to add items to each category. # '''Issues we would like to address prior to the deployment''' ## '''Table of Contents collapsing and narrow screens''' behavior (@[[user:xaosflux|xaosflux]], @[[user:sdkb|sdkb]]). We are working on this and hope to have it ready within the next few weeks (more details in [[phab:T306660|T306660]]) ## '''Visual refinements''' (@[[user:IAmChaos|IAmChaos]], @[[user:Terasail|Terasail]]). We are working on this and we will finish before deployment, with the first part landing next week (week of August 1). To see more details on what visual refinements we are and how we worked with communities to define these, please see [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Visual_Refinements|this page]] ## Making a decision on '''ToC handling and magic words '''(ping @[[User:Xaosflux|xaosflux]], @[[user:izno|izno]], @[[user:IAmChaos|IAmChaos]], @[[user:Anarchyte|Anarchyte]]). We are doing a more in-depth review of magic words and hope to come to you all with a proposal on what (if anything) we think would be best to change. Our sense is that for some of these use cases, the new ToC has solved the initial issues for them existing. We’re interested in finding out which use cases this is not the case for, and providing a solution for those. To confirm, however, the <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> magic word will continue to work, as will the templates creating the ToC based on <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> such as {{tl|horizontal toc}} ## '''Coordinates display''' and other [[Help:Indicator|indicator]] issues. We would like to ensure that coordinates do not overlap with any existing indicators and that the area in the top right corner of the article is well-organized ([[phab:T281974|T281974]]). Special thanks to Xaosflux, Izno, theDJ, Sdkb, AlexisJazz for participating in the discussion and helping us identify next steps. The conversation around coordinates continues in [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Coordinates in Vector 2022|VPT#Coordinates in Vector 2022]] ## '''Making it easy to opt-in and opt-out''' (@[[user:Shearonink|Shearonink]], @[[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]]) - we have a button in the sidebar, which allows for easy recognition of opting out. Opting in is, however, only available through the preferences page. We’d like to explore the possibility of running banners that explain that the change was made and provide opt-out instructions as well. Similarly, prior to the change, we’d like to run more banners that encourage people to opt in and give us feedback # '''Issues we would like to address after the deployment''' ## ToC/sidebar length and '''the [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Page_tools|separation of page tools from wiki-wide tools]]''' (@[[user:sdkb|sdkb]]). This is a significant change that we would like to move forward with once we have everyone using the new default. This will be the best way to study and build out customizations for the various use cases (example: the ability to add admin tools or gadgets like [[wp:Twinkle|Twinkle]] to the menu) # Issues that will not be addressed at this time (issues that are not part of the Desktop Improvements project, belonging to other teams, etc.) ## A preference which allows the fixed width of the page to be turned off. ##: <small>A local gadget (currently experimental) or personal userscripts may address this at an individual editor level. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 10:10, 28 July 2022 (UTC) </small>
