Hi,
This is a follow-up to Brandon's Wikimania talk about Winter.
Winter has an important concept of "the right rail". I like the "rail"
part
of the name, because it's a nice departure from "bar", but the
"right" part
is wrong for several reasons:
1. It's "left" in Arabic.
2. It can be misunderstood as "correct".
3. Most importantly, it doesn't say what is the rail for.
What is it for, really? Data, tools, info, navigation, aids, knowledge,
gallery? I don't have a strongly preferred name myself. "Tools" is pretty
close, but an infobox is not exactly a tool. Other suggestion are welcome.
I should also mention that we have a pretty similar bar (rail? column?) in
the ContentTranslation extension. It shows information about words,
translations, and tools to control the machine translation. In the Language
team we usually call it the "tools column".
