For the past two years, the Web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has worked on making significant improvements to the desktop interface across all of our wikis. Our goal is to make the site more welcoming to newcomers while keeping it familiar and easy to use for veteran editors and readers.

We began this work at Wikimania 2019 when we brainstormed the first features of the project. Since then, we have built,

• an improved search experience,
• better ways of switching from one language wiki to another,

and more features.

By the end of 2021, we hope to make the new experience the default across all of our wikis.

We would like to welcome you to join us in exploring the changes we have planned and help in defining the final look and feel of the design.
