Trying to figure out what kind of elements should be on the mobile page. Input would be appreciated
Item | Description | On Mobile? | Tahnok's Rationale |
---|---|---|---|
Search Box | Go to / search for pages or content | Yes | Permits quick access for mobile |
Footer | Contains license, privacy policy, disclaimers, etc... | No | Probably easier to have a link to all of that on one page instead of clutter mobile site |
Toolbox | Contains links to special pages, upload a file, recent changes, what links here, etc.. | No (maybe hidden) | Not always useful for quick viewing / editing. Could be made visable by clicking a button in case? |
Topics & Areas | Links to Appropedia's top-level categories and the like | Maybe? | Would be useful on devices to avoid typing, but may not be always needed if you know what you are looking for |
Appropedia | Links to About, FAQ, Donate, Blog and Social networking sites | No? | Not sure if you would need this while mobile? Maybe a link to a general about page |
Navigation | Links to Homepage, recent changes, random and discuss (village pump) | Yes | Might want to collapse or move to bottom of the page |
Logo | the logo... | Yes | It's good branding, but maybe very small and very transparent as a background image or something? |
Views | Links to page, edit, discussion, history and if logged in delete, move, protect, watch | Some of them | I'd say edit and discussion are important, but history, and admin actions may not be useful... I could be wrong though |
User Actions | Link to user page, talk, watchlist, contribution, log out | Some of them | my contribution is not useful. Watchlist? I don't know if this is a good think to keep on a mobile skin or not... |
Goals of a mobile skin[edit | edit source]
- Fast Loading
- Minimal images
- Easy to navigate with thumbs
- Links are easy to hit
