User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-28835099-20141212185612/@comment-4522253-20141212192229

Since we've been talking about this, I wanted to respond to some of these for you.


 * The quirky grey lines can probably be removed with CSS on communities that want to. We will be making some subtle modifications once the prototype is more stable and not under experimental scrutiny. I've tested some of the CSS customizations you're describing (with Headers) and they will work just fine. Ditto My Tools (which has a bug in it, so Customize won't launch).
 * Chat and RWA (and Photos, possibly): Could they be placed in a pop-out button like the ones on the left? Something like "Pulse of this Wiki"? If not, would an indicator of how many people or who was in chat be helpful?
 * Would the Edit button be too hard to find for a new editor?
 * Keep in mind that the videos and ads are only at section / chapter breaks wherever possible. Unless it's a huge block of text in a single section, it's not likely to get broken up.
 * Report the Sharing Bubble bug.
 * Templates used in AHSW are deliberately minimal in most cases, and almost never used for layout. With relatively minor changes (some careful CSS tweaks and a class added) most everything works.
