Hi Deb,
1. Is the proposed new page for mobile, desktop, or both?
2. Would the change affect the Apple and Android apps?
3. My personal first impression is that I like the new proposal. However,
because it is a content/design change, it should go through a community RfC
on Meta. My hunch is that it will be approved after about a month. Whether
or not the change is approved, the discussion should provide some valuable
feedback for future possibilities of that portal.
Thanks,
Pine

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation Discovery Portal team [1] has recently completed
tests to
see if a new
Wikipedia.org [3] page design would be easier to
navigate by adding a dropdown that contained all the languages by article
count list.
The test results [4] did indeed find that visitors were more likely to
click
through to a link and there was a lower amount of 'non-action' on the
page, because of the new design. We also tested the page with many
Wikipedia users and received comments that the new page design was
aesthetically pleasing and less cluttered.
Based on this information, we would like to promote this into production
on the
Wikipedia.org portal, but we want to ask the community for
feedback and/or suggestions [5].
