Maybe it works well on phones, but on a PC I don't like it

EDIT: The reason is the margins are too wide (on a PC). But maybe once I get used to it, it will be ok.

It's shit. Wikipedia has a phone app and mobile pages for general web browsers. We don't need for them to fuck things up further in the name of mobile technology. I use to be a fan but I think this will break me from their shit on a significant basis.

I'm actually a very charitable person. Just because you don't doesn't mean no one else does.

I NEVER SAID I WASN'T CHARITABLE...I'M HONEST THOUGH...YOU SHOULD BE TOO...NEITHER OF US GIVES TO WIKIPEDIA...NEITHER OF US USES IT VERY OFTEN EITHER PROBABLY.

Yeah, thats the familiar format. Maybe they are still rolling out the change and only some parts are affected at the moment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales

Takes a bit getting used to. The submenus used to be on the same topic page but now it's relegated further apart and to the left so more strain on the eyes.

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

change for the sake of change.

What happened to the search bar? Can't search for articles anymore unless I go back to the landing page https://www.wikipedia.org/

[–] nyctc7 (44116) 2 years ago

I clicked on the link in my OP and there is a search bar at the very top of the screen.

I really dislike it when sites change their look as I get used to it looking a certain way and it becomes a part of the sites identity. Changes also rarely make anything better for the user as well.

Look at how bad IMDb is now for example.
