New Wiki Sucks?

7 pointsby sunjesterover 2 years ago
Is it me or does the new Wikipedia layout make it way harder and more difficult to do "Wiki research"?

What don&#x27;t you like about the new layout? I find it to be a really well-done change that helps to modernize the page without getting rid of its classic text-first approach. In fact, other than moving the table of contents to the side, I really don&#x27;t see any major differences.<p>Also, if you don&#x27;t like the new layout, you can get the old one back. If you create an account, and go to preferences -&gt; appearance, you can change back to the old &quot;Vector Legacy (2010)&quot; layout [1]<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.howtogeek.com&#x2F;866617&#x2F;how-to-get-the-old-wikipedia-layout-back&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.howtogeek.com&#x2F;866617&#x2F;how-to-get-the-old-wikipedi...</a>

I don&#x27;t understand why they pushed the table of contents like it was super important. Are there really people who need to have it all the time under their nose? Generally I just read it once to find the specific information I&#x27;m looking for, and that&#x27;s it. On the other hand, I use language links a lot, and now I have to make an additional click to find them, that&#x27;s just annoying.<p>Eventually I just installed extensions on my browsers to get rid of the problem (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;revert-wikipedia-layout&#x2F;jpnfgjjnmghhkgffigedilglfkpcjlda" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;revert-wikipedia-l...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;classic-wikipedia&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;classic-wikip...</a> if aynone is looking for a solution). It&#x27;s less inconvenient than creating an account, but it is dicey and I wish wikimedia offered a more convenient solution.

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wikiwand.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wikiwand.com&#x2F;</a> lets you customize how Wikipedia is rendered.<p>I find the defaults easier to read.

I think I dislike it out of newness.<p>But I do profess a dislike for how it hides the nav at even medium sized screens.
