Wikimedia Foundation announced the release of a Wikipedia redesign this week. I was surprised because I do not think I have seen the Wikipedia design change in many years. Take a look and make a contribution after you read something interesting.

Why It Matters

Wikipedia is a treasure of the Internet and it was starting to feel a bit dated. This redesign makes Wikipedia a bit easier to use and navigate.

What I Like

• The navigation bar on the left for the table of contents.
• Better spacing for menu items and labels.
• Using color and an underline to delineate the currently selected menu item.

What is Missing

• Wikitext markup is still confusing compared to Markdown.
• Inline section header links.
