[edit] Google cache obscures sidebar
Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump.
Would it be possible to ask or direct Google to cache the printable versions of the articles instead of the ones with a panel on the left and one on top? Currently some text of Google itself interferes with the upper part of the article, at least with IE. - Patrick 13:33 Apr 23, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Blue Cologne default
Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump.
I just realised that I have the option to change the interface skin, and I'm wondering why the more modern Blue Cologne skin isn't the default. I've always though Wikipedia looks a little bit dated, but the Blue Cologne skin looks great - why don't we impress new users and visitors with it instead of the current mid 90s style default? Cgs
- Even though this wouldn't affect the anonymous visitor, who can't set preferences, the Blue Cologne breaks the floating Quickbar; that's why I don't use it. If that could be fixed, I'd be all for it. And like I say, visitors wouldn't see it anyway. I would also like to see a note in the Special:Preferences page that tells you that they aren't compatible (unless that's really a browser compatibility issue? But they don't play well together on either Galeon-1.2.9/Mozilla-1.3 or IE 6 for me.). -- John Owens 17:33 Apr 23, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Navbar changes proposal
Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump on Thursday, June 12th, 02003.
I'd like to propose some minor changes to the navbar at the top of every page. See this page for a mockup; it's a modified version of the Main Page. Comments? -- Merphant 06:58 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- a few weeks ago on the mailing list we had a GREAT redesign of the whole layout, using CSS. ANy news on it? -- Tarquin 07:44 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Can you give a link to the discussion? This small change should be much easier to implement than a complete redesign, so hopefully it has a higher probability of getting added. This post probably belongs on Wikitech-L, but I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on it. -- Merphant 05:03 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Sidebar functions
Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump
Why are the "Move this page" (for non sysops) and "Post a comment" functions only present on the left sidebar but not on the bottom? --Jiang 09:27, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)
