I'm a Product Designer (UXD, UID) currently living in Dallas, Texas, soon to be moving to NYC. I think Wikipedia is an incredibly valuable tool that needs to be strengthened and improved.
I aspire to one day work for Wikipedia Design to help build future features to make it easier to spread knowledge to all.
My Interests
- Systems theory (portal)
- Network theory
- Percolation theory
- Social change
- Automation, post-scarcity, future studies
- Library science
Feature Requests for Wikipedia
iOS App
- Show User Page as a normal article
- NavBox support
Visual Editor
- Improve template editing in Visual Editor
- Add support for Talk Pages
Tools: Page information
- Show maintenance tag status over time, to view how quickly an article is fixed
- Visualize a page's context within WikiProjects (similar to how the top of the talk page is used)
Improvements to the "View History" page
- Align elements vertically to make it more readable (a table view, without lines ... instead of a list view with non-aligned elements)
- Show small preview of before & after text changes, without having to click prev or cur buttons
- Wrap the +/- numbers inside of a colored box (like a stock ticker) so it's more visually apparent if it's green or red (green and red text on a white background that is sufficiently readable in terms of contrast is hard to distinguish between black text on a white background)
Better Wikidata Integrations
Need to categorize
- I'd like to improve the Template:Infobox cocktail to include % of ingredients.
- Create a "Diagram Requested" template to improve overall diagram coverage across Wikipedia.
- Add a gradient view to the Template:Infobox planet to show where a planet sits in relation to the habitable zone.
- Design improved style of Wikipedia to look more modern, like that of Notion or Stripe.
- New Tool: Show number of times a page has been listed on the current events section
