This has been somewhat answered by the Simple English
Wikipedia. But even
Simple was recently nominated for deletion in whole on meta, although the
nomination failed. I'm not sure it can be done without splitting off
multiple projects, but the problem with that is that our cross-wiki vandals
are savvy to new sparsely populated projects, and they use those as a place
to roam, meaning you need significant community effort just to maintain
whatever content contributions are to be had.
This sounds crazy can you explain it properly as I dont contribute to
WikiPedia that much these days so am not really aware of whats going on
politics wise.
I am suggesting basically a new (sub) section tags for introductions that
can contain :-
a) A default introduction
b) The expert topic area.
c) Individually targetted introductions
Thanks for the reply,

articles so if you are a
kid or a layperson or an expert in a field you get a different
introduction.
Often the reason people don't read or use WikiPedia is articles are too
complex at the start.
Having an adaptive setting that can be chosen but users as default needs
facilitating by WikiMedia technology.
Thoughts and ideas and possible implementation ideas on this idea are
welcomed.
