[WikiEN-l] "About Wikipedia" in navigation sidebar

[David Gerard]

Sandra (the Foundation communications person) suggested an "About
Wikipedia" link go in the sidebar, not just at the bottom of each
page. So I floated it on [[MediaWiki Talk:Sidebar]], got no objections
and put it in today. This is to be the sort of "about" link lots of
websites have.

The link goes to [[Wikipedia:About]]. I ask the august embattled
wikiveterans of this list to hack at said page until it's actually the
sort of thing a completely fresh visitor would expect to see linked
from "About Wikipedia." At the moment it strikes me as about twice as
long as it should be and entirely peppered in caveats ... thoughts
plz.
