Nihiltres,
I like that thinking, we're thinking of one aspect of the *rail being "enrichment" and "explorations" but metadata is partly covered in that, in some cases things like automated galleries from commons or wiktionary definitions aren't strictly metadata (more enrichment) but metarail is beginning to differentiate the content from a normal navigation component.

It seems to me like the right rail as I've seen it so far contains *metadata*, as contrasted with the older (left-hand in LTR) "sidebar", which seems more focused on *navigation*. "Metadata rail" isn't perfect, but it seems close enough based on what I understand it to contain so far: languages, interproject links, infoboxes, subject navboxes … stuff that's mostly not article content directly, but much closer to article content than the boilerplate navigation we'd expect in the sidebar._______________________________________________Design mailing listDesign@lists.wikimedia.orghttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design
