Part 1: WizardPart 2: File page
Overview
● Redesigned the general layout
● Added 1-click reuse cases
● Removed unnecessary clutter
● Reordered by priority (core vs. additional info)
● Fixed inconsistencies
Action: Edit
● By default, clicking on 'Edit' opens the page in edit mode.
● The 'Edit' menu also provides the link to upload a new version
● This menu may also host other simple editing features like 'Rotate' or 'Rename'
1-click reuse cases
● What do most users want?● Download the file on their
computer
● Use the file on a Wikimedia page
● Perhaps, hotlink the file (tbd)
● Perhaps export/convert to other formats
Reuse: Download
● Contextual information● Example: When the user's
mouse hovers above the download link, the file size and image size are displayed.
Reuse: add to a wiki/web page● The interface provides
the code to add the picture to a wiki page or a web page.
Minitools
● Render at another size
● Annotate the document● possibly integrated into the
'edit' menu
Section: Information
● Reordering by priority and by type of information
● Licenses: no need for huge banners; simple links to license-specific 'Reuse' pages● Possible compromise:
license details folded by default
Section: Similar media
● Groups categories & 'other versions' (hidden if none)
● Categories are not labeled as such, but they are more proeminent and explicitely indicated as tools for navigation
Section: Additional information
● Section for additional, less important information:● Custom templates
● {{Retouched}}
● etc.
Consistency
● Remove the file history from the page and merge it into the page history
● Remove the 'File links' list, since it poorly duplicates the WhatLinksHere page
