Designing a customized and distraction-free reading experience lead to more #inclusion on Wikipedia. Read why in this article by @ItsJazTanner and me:

[Wikimedia Design @WikimediaDesign]

Take a look at the article and read about some of the steps we took to develop a design approach that reflects that ideal. Or at least attempt it…

Hey, check out this egg-laying wool-milk-pig — said no one ever. @scblr and @ItsJazTanner just published an article on how designing for customization led to inclusion on Wikipedia, and what an imaginary animal has to do with it. https://t.co/y6JI1WR35T

[Wikimedia Design @WikimediaDesign]

Chasing this outcome is usually futile because an ideal outcome never exists. When it comes to product design, however, there are areas where as a team, we aren’t willing to compromise: designing more inclusive products.
