Individual newsletter pages should have a visual hierarchy
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Summary
The content on a single newsletter listing is useful, but does not show a hierarchy of information (the most important first) nor clear section headings.

Description
Suggestions to improve this display of information would be to do the following.

  • Bold the sections in some way - These sections currently are the same weight and size as the rest of the text on the page. Specificlaly "Main page", "Description", "Publishers", "Subscriber count:" and "Newsletter issue announcements:"
  • Move the description file to the first section as it is the most relevant to new readers on why they would want to subscribe.
  • Relabel "Main_page" with something more specific. "Main_Page" is a phrase used in MediaWiki to define the name of the default main page when setting up a new wiki. Suggestion: "Newsletter main page"
  • Remove duplication of links in the bread crumb navigation. I'm not sure why they are repeated so close to one another but they produce visual confusion so close to one another. Remove the breadcrumb or the OOUI versions of the redundant actions (Subscribe, Manage, View subscribers, Announce)

Absolutely, thank you very much for these ideas and the mockup. This looks like a good candidate for Google-Code-in-2017

Could maybe mentor this. Not alone though. @Florian, @01tonythomas , @Bawolff , interested in helping?

Imported to GCI, will be made available later in the contest when all mentors are available.

I was free to added me as a mentor, too, together with @MtDu and @01tonythomas we can get this! :)
