Reading/Web

The Web team is in charge of the reading experiences for all the web users of the Wikimedia projects. We work on both mobile web and desktop. As part of Core Experiences, we collaborate closely with the Growth and Editing teams.

Check out our repository and learn more about:

• Our software component responsibilities
• The mobile web interface

A few years ago, our team would use the names Reading Web or Readers Web, and before that (until 2015-ish) Mobile Web. You may still find these names used in the documentation.

Current projects

[edit]

We want to improve the ways readers discover pages, articles, media, and other content across Wikipedia. This work will focus on making it easier to learn and find content on-wiki.

Recommendations for communities

[edit]

Our changes have an effect on the community-controlled pages and code. This is why we have developed the following recommendations:

• For mobile friendly articles
• For dark mode compatibility
• For gadget developers

Keeping the code stable and aligned with these best practices is important. We gladly assist interface admins, gadget and user script developers, and module and template editors.
