[edit]If the interface can be changed and simplified, it would be great help to users.
Project goals

Get involved
[edit]Participants
[edit]- Developer As a developer, it is my duty to bring the best functionality to designs useful for users, just like me. There is a lot to refine in Wikipedia's interface, so it won't be overwhelming for starters and strangers to the site.
I suggest the final interface should also conform to the existing interface adapted by Wikipedia for Android and iOS, to create a unified Wikipedia experience for all devices. Why the interface for the Wikipedia app? I, as a user personally, believe that the progress done for the application, in terms of the interface, It creates an easy experience for all Wikipedia users, and that is where we want to end up as well. Almost every type of social media with a large audience is taking efforts to create a uniform atmosphere for all users, on all devices available. I believe Wikipedia, being the sixth most visited site in the Internet as mentioned in Jimmy Wales' statement for WikiMedia Foundation fundraising, (correct me if I am wrong), should take the same move to keep up with the next generation of Internet users.
