Hello!

Did you know that the new interface (Vector 2022) is almost ready? Let's talk about this project. The meeting will take place on 29 March (Tuesday) at 18:00 UTC on Zoom.[1]

We will present the state of the project and the latest prototype,[2] and answer any questions you may have. See the details about the agenda and format of the meeting.[3]

About the project

The goals are to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers while keeping the utility for advanced editors. The changed interface makes it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, use page tabs and the user menu, and more.

The improvements are already default on almost 30 wikis. We would love to see these changes become default across all wikis. We plan on beginning conversations on the largest wikis in the coming months.

If you'd like to learn more, see the announcement on the English Wikipedia Village Pump.[4]
