The public beta of Wikipedia’s new interface announced

September 17th, 2009

Ahh, that’s why. The reason Wikipedia has been acting like 4chan on a bad day is that they were upgrading their software, and now we know exactly what part was upgraded.

Pretty!

Pretty!

They added a little link at the top of the page entitled “Try Beta”. If you click on it, and log in, you’ll be able to switch your current interface for a brand spanking new look n’ feel. It looks nice, but I’m not sure whether I’m happy about sacrificing the speed and simplicity of the current design just for a few whistles and shiny menu bars.

Edit: Apparently the wonkiness was actually related to something else. The new look is still pretty cool though.

    The new skin’s been available for a while now. What’s affecting the site performance so much isn’t the skin but some lower-level improvments to the software that will enable some more new features in the days and weeks to come.
