Purpose[edit | edit source]

The Wikimedia Foundation User Experience Design group is responsible for the look and feel of projects, from a functional level to a final pixel level released design. The UX group works closely with existing Wikipedians as well as new users to socialize our designs and plans, and works with the Product Management group to establish product roadmaps.

Active projects we're working on:

Design Exploration[edit | edit source]

Every Friday the Design team takes time to think about longer lead projects, areas of personal interest, or design problems that aren't their primary area of focus to spend time brainstorming, sketching and collaborating on. Many of the projects created during Explore will hopefully turn into roadmap projects or Beta Features.

What we've created in Explore time:

  • Mobile Homepage
  • Mobile Citation Interface
  • Compact Personal Bar
  • Fixed Site Header
  • Mobile Profiles
  • Mobile Edit History
