Feedback, please.
I would love to see this design or something similar become the default for Wikimedia's mailing lists. Compared to the current default,[1] I find the new design vastly more friendly and engaging.
Can't be the default because it's English only, isn't it. A workaround could be to remove custom linguistic content (for instance make "About Wikimedia Foundation" just "Wikimedia" and point it to some translatable page on Meta), but I've no idea how localisation of all this works.
Well, this *recommended* template could substitute the current default which doesn't offer localized links either. An improvement is an improvement, and I think the improvement for users is huge.
Then it is up to the admins of each list to implement this template or not, to take it as is or with modifications e.g. links to Spanish content for your Spanish speaking list. It's just a piece of HTML to be pasted in a web form.
Just give me a day or so to implement feedback and clean the code, and then the template will be ready to be applied by list admins with a simple copy&paste, with optional customization.
