Wikipedia is getting a new look for the first time in 10 years. Here’s why.

'In order to make the desktop experience more readable and less overwhelming to new users, Wikipedia is being redesigned to move page elements, collapse in the sidebar, and decrease the maximum line width. From Diff, the Wikimedia community blog: Forthcoming changes to the desktop include a reconfigured logo, collapsible sidebar, table of contents, and more! You can see the full list of new features on MediaWiki. These changes will happen incrementally over a long period of time, to allow for ample user testing and feedback. If all goes to plan, these improvements will be the default on all wikis by the end of 2021, timed with Wikipedia's 20th birthday celebrations.' -- source: https://news.slashdot.org/story/20/09/23/1822218 Link to gallery of images that show the differences/new features: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements#What_feature...
