Wikidata/Development/UI Layout Concept

This page is currently a draft. More information pertaining to this may be available on the talk page. Translation admins: Normally, drafts should not be marked for translation.

This page deals with the general layout concept that should be applied instead of the currently implemented layout. The mockups down below do not imply detailed design aspects but rather give a general impression on how elements should be arranged on a Wikidata page.

Motivation

• editing is more important than browsing: there needs to be a clear focus on edit options
• structure edit potential since there are many edit triggers
• stick to MediaWiki style(s) as far as possible trying to not interfere with user expectation
• ensure compatibility with mobile devices
