User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-24416108-20141220003746

Content area looks decent, when zoomed out to 75% only. Otherwise, font size hurts my eyes on this laptop. Also, I'd rather have a complete sidebar of ads, more ads, and only ads, then a single ad inside the content.

The edit buttons feel completely weird and unintuitive. What's wrong with having a button that says what it does?

Couldn't figure out the function of the top button in the left menu. TOC? Local navigation?

Also, the menu's should linger for at least half a second more when the mouse leaves the menu - the menu's feel impossible to navigate. Also, a side menu should start next to the cursor/current hovered option, not on top, cause you cant see it.

Since I looked at the Tardis wiki, I noticed that the white of all the menu's really fell away against the background/wiki theme. This could be locational and therefore wiki-specific, but it really makes the navigation much harder, so if it isn't it should be paid attention to.(NOTE: this occures only on the side menu.)

Lastly, in the above sections, there was an important part of the goals of a Wiki site I didn't find. Currently, the combination of Global Nav and Article layout are being tested by, among others, counting page loads. However, the most important function of whichever wiki is to inform the reader - which only happens if the reader sticks around on an article to read it, and I think that therefore, it should also could as a positive if a user stays on a page for a given time without leaving it. Sure, you'll get some statistic weirdness when getting AFK people, but that doesn't take away it's an important function currently not being measured(as far as we know.)
