Hi, I have been updating project portals [1] (e.g. www.wiktionary.org [2]) to the new coding infrastructure to avoid storing them in pages in meta (m:Www.wikivoyage.org_template [3]) among other reasons including better search experience, consistent design, better look, etc. Now every project has been migrated except wikivoyage because its portal is completely different (the picture of sunset).
I have been wondering if this is okay to change it to the standard portal design (like wikipedia.org [4]) because:
- This is not accessible, the contrast of the text is too low
(because of the background image) for people with visual impairments.
- The design is not following the Wikimedia standard
(https://design.wikimedia.org/style-guide) for example the blue is not #36c
- The general look doesn't follow the standard all other projects
follow, that's part of the movement's brand.
- The current design doesn't really take into account that we might
have more wikivoyage languages in the future, doesn't have proper space for them (unlike the standard design)
- The current design is completely broken on mobile.
I mentioned this in meta [5] but didn't get any response. So I thought I bring it up here. Fixing this would take care of a lot of legacy infrastructure we have. Thanks!
Best
Amir (he/him)

Hi Amir,
this list is for practical purposes dead as well. The English Wikivoyage
https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub
would be probably the best place to start the discussion, I think it is watched by some people from other language versions as well, and they can take it there if needed.
Best regards Yaroslav
