Wikipedia, the
online user-created encyclopedia and the number six website on the
Internet today, is about to get a makeover. And it's a big one.
According to a
blog post from the Wikimedia Foundation User Experience team
detailing the changes, the upcoming Wikipedia redesign, due to launch
April 5th, aims to make the site easier to navigate, easier to search
and, perhaps most importantly, easier to edit.
Easier is Better
The upcoming design, code-named "Vector," has been in use over the past six months by a group of 500,000 beta testers. Included in the update are changes like simplified navigation, a relocated search box, clutter reduction and even an updated Wikipedia logo. Also, all English Wikipedia users will soon be able to create PDFs and printed books from Wikipedia articles, a service previously available only to logged-in users.
