==== What changes will be made before deployment ==== Hey everyone! Thank you for your continued feedback. Wanted to send out an update on the project and next steps, and get your thoughts: In our last message, we posted a list of tasks that we had placed in three categories based on our research, previous conversations with communities and prototype testing, as well as incoming feedback. Below is an update for the tasks within each category. For this updated version, we would like to ask the same questions - '''What should be added? What should be removed? Do you have any questions on what each of these items will and will not include?''' # Issues from this conversation that we would like to address prior to the deployment ## '''Table of Contents collapsing and narrow screens behavior''' - The ToC is now collapsible at narrow screen sizes as well as for all screen sizes. During the next week we will be making changes to the width and centering of content with collapsed ToC's ([[phab:T314579|T314579]]). We will also be adding the ability to access a collapsed ToC from the sticky header ([[phab:T311103|T311103]]). ## '''Visual refinements''' - We're working on this part now. We have made the first changes based on the feedback we have received. The styles for menus and buttons are now back to their default blue state. We have also made some changes to the styles of the ToC. To see more details on the remainder of visual refinements please see the [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Visual_Refinements|page on MediaWiki.org]]. ## '''Making a decision on ToC handling and magic words''' - We will be updating on the state of magic words early next week. ## '''Revisiting the naming of the ToC โbeginningโ section''' - {{re|sdkb|xaosflux|GhostInTheMachine}} thank you for your continued participation in this conversation and your ideas here. We're monitoring the conversation and are evaluating the idea of the new โ(Top)โ link as well as other previous suggestions from the [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements#%22Beginning%22_is_confusing|conversation on the project talk page]]. This work will be tracked in [[phab:T314867|this phabricator ticket]]. We commit to finalizing the name of this section prior to deployment. ## '''Coordinates display and other indicator issues''' - We are continuing the conversation around coordinates in [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Coordinates_in_Vector_2022|WP:VPT#Coordinates in Vector 2022]] and will post a specific update soon. # 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]]''' - 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 optimize for studying and building out customizations for the various use cases for the page menu (example: the ability to add admin tools or gadgets like [[wp:Twinkle|Twinkle]] to the menu). # Issues that are not part of the Desktop Improvements project, issues that belong to other teams, and other requests that will not be prioritized at this time ## Introducing a setting in preferences which allows the fixed width of the article to be turned off - as some of you mentioned, there are a number of gadgets and scripts that allow for increasing the width or using the space for other tools for people that have larger screens. We have published a list of these on [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Repository#Modifications_of_Vector_2022:_new_gadgets_and_user_scripts|our repository page]]. Feel free to add any scripts/gadgets that you have created or use the ones available there.
