Hi, I have been updating project portals
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273179> (e.g.
www.wiktionary.org) to
the new coding infrastructure to avoid storing them in pages in meta (
m:Www.wikivoyage.org_template
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikivoyage.org_template>) among other
reasons including better search experience, consistent design, better look,
etc. Now every project has been migrated except wikivoyage because its
portal is completely different (the picture of sunset).
I have been wondering if this is okay to change it to the standard portal
design (like
wikipedia.org) because:
- This is not accessible, the contrast of the text is too low (because
of the background image) for people with visual impairments.
- The design is not following the Wikimedia standard (
https://design.wikimedia.org/style-guide) for example the blue is not
#36c
- The general look doesn't follow the standard all other projects
follow, that's part of the movement's brand.
- The current design doesn't really take into account that we might have
more wikivoyage languages in the future, doesn't have proper space for them
(unlike the standard design)
- The current design is completely broken on mobile.
I mentioned this in meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikivoyage.org_template> but
didn't get any response. So I thought I bring it up here. Fixing this would
take care of a lot of legacy infrastructure we have. Thanks!
Best
