Hi, I have been updating project portals https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273179 (e.g. www.wiktionary.org) to the new coding infrastructure to avoid storing them in pages in meta ( m:Www.wikivoyage.org_template https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikivoyage.org_template) 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) 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 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikivoyage.org_template 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
