User:John Cummings/Experiments/Sandbox Organiser Plan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Problem statement

[edit]

Many people have lots and lots of sandboxes which are hard to find and organise

Solution

[edit]

Make something to help keep people's workspaces on Wikipedia/Wikidata etc organised

To do

[edit]

First version

[edit]
  • Ask Facebook for common uses of sandboxes
  • Make some folders
  • Make a button for making new drafts
  • Ask Facebook for feedback
  • Are there any tools that can help easily move lots of pages to a new directory?
  • Change whole page fonts to FreeSans, Gill Sans MT, GillSansSA, Calibri, sans-serif
  • CHange Wikimedia icons to square ones

Design

[edit]

Design based on an OS app menu, with full list of 'apps' and a favourites bar, could be in grid or in lines


Apps and folders

[edit]
  • Folders: A link that links through to a list of pages of a certain 'type' eg article, make it easy for people to create new pages in that folder
  • Apps/widgets: Treat each thing as an app which can be moved to favourites and people to create 'apps' for other people to copy into their sandboxes

Ideas for things

[edit]

Folders

[edit]
  • Draft article with easy to make pages in that space

Apps/Widgets

[edit]

Can be either new things or just bring in those little tools from people's user pages

  • Favourites
  • Notes
  • Links to sandboxes on other Wikimedia projects
  • Feedback on number of views of articles you've created
  • Number of articles you've created
  • List of chat pages you can customise for various Wikiprojects and Village pump things
