That's exactly the point here! Maybe not everyone is like that, but the pattern is supported by studies. The question is: how do we support (or, how do we make Wikipedia relevant for) this category? > The idea that Wikipedia needs to be dumbed down Nobody proposed that. > On Sun, 30 Dec 2018 at 17:21, Jane Darnell <jane...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > We need better upload interfaces for fixing spelling mistakes, > > adding blue links, categories, media, and all other common tasks. I had a conversation with Dan Garry in Cape Town about why categories and navboxes are not shown on mobile and it seems they are not a "thing" anymore (aka not used by the readers, which prefer navigating through inline links). For the rest, I agree. What do you think of the CitationHunt tool? Would it help if integrated in the normal workflow?

I've always thought that Wikipedia should be accessible for people with middle studies (highschool) but I've been accused of trying to "dumb down" Wikipedia. Thanks for the idea! More generally, yes, the introduction is the obvious candidate for what Yaroslav is proposing, the question is how do you put it to the best use? Are popups (currently enabled for anonymous users) enough? Movies and visuals are complicated for most people, would an audio help? Text to speech is pretty good (and dead cheap) these days and I know WMSE has done some work in this domain. Would an audio of the introduction help? What about reading the whole article? This is a major topic, we should probably try to extract 2-3 ideas that can be pushed forward from it.
