Wikipedia is redesigning its web page for desktops in 10 years. The entire redesign will be completed by the end of 2021.
For nearly twenty years, Wikipedia has been an integral part of online culture, allowing users to browse millions encyclopedic entries, through their desktop computer, tablet or phone. Now, Wikipedia's overall desktop appearance is being redesigned for the first time in a decade, to make the site more accessible to new users.
Through this MediaWiki post, you can browse all the suggested new features as well as see some animated GIFs to reveal what the new page will look like.
The first change it will be a folding side line. This will allow users to collapse the menu to the left side of each page, minimize visual distractions, and limit irrelevant content and links to the left of your screen to make it easier to focus. The site will also add an easy button to change the language for a page you're reading with one click.
Wikipedia will also add improvements to the search tool, within the site, to make it easier to find other pages, and will redesign the logo of, to make it smaller on each Wikipedia page.
The Wikimedia Foundation, announced in a blog post that the changes will happen "gradually over a long period of time," allowing users to test new features before they're officially released, but it plans to redesign the entire look and feel of versions for desktop by the end of 2021. There is no word on whether the mobile version will receive the same redesign.
