Forum:Main page redesign

See new design here

We have gained valuable feedback from our main page survey (also see summary for open-ended questions). Now it's time to act on it. I propose a complete change of the main page to a more modern, user-friendly design inspired by Ore UI.

Rationale

The most direct reason why a redesign is needed is that our current main page is overloaded with spin-off and franchise information that most readers would not need. There is no easy fix to this current format, so a new format is required. This hypothesis matches what readers, especially those who fill out open-ended questions, think about the main page.

In the survey, many respondents explicitly questioned the necessity of highlighting two dead games and two completely dead games. Meanwhile, sections readers deem important like recent versions are hidden at the very bottom. The redesign fixes this problem once and for all by having separate portal pages for every spin-off game/medium (that has a namespace).

Design principle

The new design is heavily inspired by Ore UI, which brings the main page in line with the Minecraft art style, especially the design of the sidebar which was also inspired by Ore UI. The redesign follows a two-column layout:

• Left: Game-specific content
• Right: Wiki/meta information

Specific changes

• Reorganized welcome box and moved it to the right. Some key statistics are preserved. The links were removed due to their dubious usefulness to readers and that they are redundant on the sidebar. Social media and Discord discoverability is also improved.
• Tabbed navigation at the top for different Minecraft games/media to address reader feedback. Now each game gets its own portal page (spin-off portal pages would be semiprotected so no copyedit necessary).
• Latest version is promoted. There is now a dedicated section for current and upcoming updates, as well a default-collapsed version list to address Forum:Rethinking Template:Version and latest version visibility. During the redesign, we found out that the News and Events section is not useful anymore and has been functionally completely replaced by these sections. For important events like Minecraft Live we also reserved space for a third box.
• "About the game", "Coming back to the game?", and "Developers" sections focus on three key groups of readers. These were added thanks to a survey suggestion.
• The right rail gives us more opportunity to provide information on the wiki itself. There is now a how to contribute section, wiki news section, and a wiki tools section.
• New did you know with fewer facts but a random button.
• Added languages section at the end to give some more care to our other language wikis and encourage participation in translation projects.
• The draft was designed with mobile in mind.

Transition

We will continue collecting feedback from editors and refine the page for a few days. On March 8 (Saturday) UTC the draft will be moved to editcopy and we will add an opt-in banner to the old main page for readers to preview and provide final feedback (with feedback survey link). If all goes well, we will fully implement this a few weeks later (either week of March 17 or March 24). We should hopefully implement it before movie release since it's highly relevant.

I'd like to thank everyone involved with the survey and the redesign, including those who contributed directly or provided constructive feedback. It was an incredible team effort to produce such a high-quality draft in just one week!

Would this work without javascript enabled or on any browser version released more than 3-4 years ago? Arina (she/her) 12:32, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Doesn't look well on Firefox versions before 52 and Chrome versions before 57 - [1], [2]. The current main page looks good even if you use Chrome 43 and Firefox 36 - [3], [4]. Arina (she/her) 12:46, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Only thing broken in your example is display: grid; which is supported by all browsers for 7 years by now. It's also used by our current main page. Anyhow, I added a fallback to display: flex; (supported for 12 years) for the instances which broke more severely without grid support. 👁 Image

The wiki has already dropped support for older browsers that old quite a few years ago. The vast majority of our readers (99.9% if not more) are on modern browsers. To my knowledge, the new main page does not require any features that the old main page didn't. | violine1101 ^(talk) 19:02, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

dropped support for older browsers - what do you mean by dropped? It works with Firefox 36 and not earlier versions only because Cloudflare doesn't support HTTP/1.1. Arina (she/her) 21:02, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

We're not testing features for older browsers, but they might still happen to work. We're just not blocking interface changes based on if they're 100% supported for older browsers; especially JavaScript might break on older browsers. MediaWiki also has some built in requirements for JavaScript, which is currently ES6 I believe, so JavaScript ES6 features won't work in older browsers outright. Some things also use ES7 I believe. A rough estimate is that we're generally only supporting ~2 year old browsers or newer. | violine1101 ^(talk) 21:13, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

In a JavaScript-less environment, the latest versions box would gracefully degrade to a permanently open one; however, the random facts button would not work. As for CSS, I’m pretty sure all of the stuff is modern (flex boxes, variables) but not too cutting edge. Note however that old browser versions may not be supported forever (see also mw:Compatibility#Browsers). — BabylonAS 12:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

How the featured articles would be chosen? There is no dedicated page on the MCW namespace to give specific guidelines or even a hand-compiled list of them. I’m tempted to consider not including that respective box into RuMCW’s adaptation of the design, especially considering the generally mediocre quality of its many articles. — BabylonAS 12:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Also, RuMCW does not have good coverage of spin-offs (especially Legends and Story Mode) so we might consider cutting the respective big buttons out (as well as spin-off specific main pages). That said, I generally 👁 Image
 Support the new design. I’d only suggest laying out specific guidelines for featured pages, as well as having a fallback for the random facts button that purges the main page in case JavaScript is not enabled or supported. BabylonAS 14:18, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Well, 1. We do not need to have so much space between icons. Oh no we don't. 2. That's not two columns, that's more rows making it much much worse to use. 3) everything takes up so much space and causes whitespace that there's almost no color. It reminds me of a settings menu or something. We really can't make it at least look presentable? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  15:18, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

1. Which icons are you referring to? If you're talking about the icons for the various Minecraft topics, I don't think we've increased the space between the icons at all; instead we've enlarged the buttons and given them a border which should be good for mobile users.

2. On mobile, having two columns everywhere is just not viable since the screen is vertical; this is also the case for the current main page on mobile. Where would you expect two columns?

3. Which whitespace are you referring to? We've tried to fill up the main page as much as the old one and I'm not sure what you're speaking of exactly.

Screenshots would be appreciated! | violine1101 ^(talk) 19:09, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

1. Mainly the main game ones, really the size increase is unnecessary and makes it so that I can't get all of them on my screen. It's just so much wasted space.

2. The proposal itself said two columns, so it mainly annoys me with the implication that it's always two columns when it isn't. Plus the fact that it's just so so much to scroll through is just... ehhh.

3. Most of the empty space is around the icons, and, rather, I should have said, white space. There's almost no color; the grass headers on the current one are so nice!

I'll upload some screenshots in a bit. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  23:31, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Okay, so here you can see that it's just... Without color. It looks to me like a piece of paper is being shoved in my face. Some color would greatly enhance this.

So here you can see that the current icons are much more presentable and that the proposed icons take up a lot of room, making whitespace. They just look again like a piece of paper being shoved in my face. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  23:53, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

1. and 3.: Our reasoning for the icons is the following: Whitespace is what we see in your screenshot of the icons on the old mainpage; there's a lot of empty space there. The redesign fills this whitespace with the buttons so that the section doesn't look as visually empty anymore. We also did that so that you can clearly see what is a "button" and what's not; before there was no clear visual indication of the area you need to tap/click on to click the link; now it's the entire area that's clearly marked, and the gap between the icons is rather minimal.

2. The two-column layout happens from screen widths of 990px or more, below that it's a one-column layout; it's essentially the same for the current main page by the way.

3. I agree that the "Wiki news" and "Wiki tools" sections can still use some more work and some color. I have some ideas how we can improve those sections still, they're currently kept rather simple. | violine1101 ^(talk) 00:36, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Okay, I agree with all those points. Though surely the icons can be downscaled on mobile or sth? Or my idea is keep the icons mostly the same but add a small border between them. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  01:16, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

We've adapted the icons so that they become smaller on smaller screens, meaning they now take up less space on mobile! Let us know what you think. | violine1101 ^(talk) 08:02, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

I'd hate to complain, but on mobile (this is the desktop wiki on a tablet, people!) there's a large amount of whitespace in some of the Wiki sections on the right:

Okay. Just one more thing: can the buttons on the Coming Back to the Game? section be more OreUI-ified, if you get what I'm talking about? That'd be a CSS thing, and though I'm fluent in it, it's a lot of work to locate the files necessary to change it. 👁 Image
PhoenixAsh89 (talk) (contribs) 00:57, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Are you referring to the buttons to the individual updates or the guide buttons? The update links are supposed to be a timeline, changing them to buttons would probably lose the chronology. If not - are you referring to button color or something else when you mean "OreUI-ified"? | violine1101 ^(talk) 01:06, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant the little bullets on the timeline. The black border seems a little thick, and by OreUI-ified I mean "more like the OreUI theme design." Sorry for the confusion! 👁 Image
PhoenixAsh89 (talk) (contribs) 01:08, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Other feedback: the pixelated images to select the games aren't terribly recognizable. Myself, I probably could have figured it out after a while without tapping on the links, but I'm not sure if other readers would be able to.

Also, I'm not sure if the multi-game thing and the featured articles are really compatible, because that would mean six featured articles per (day? Or is it week?). And how do we even select the featured articles themselves? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:33, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

I've added labels to the selected game's icons for mobile now as well, let me know what you think.

It's not yet decided how exactly featured articles would work but I think the general idea is to have one featured article per week for mainspace and maybe fewer for the spin-offs. If we have a larger collection of featured articles we can of course increase that frequency. | violine1101 ^(talk) 21:06, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Wow, nice job with the buttons. Now new users will be like, "what is this? Oh, it's the movie. Interesting content..." rather than "what is this? Okay let's see... Uhh, is this the movie? Ah, it is." Also I think that generally featured articles should be consistent with when they change, but ah well, there's little to no articles in the MCE namespace.

 Support – I definitely like the redesign, as it removes a lot of bloated information, like the discontinued spin-off games, and moving them into each of their own different sub pages. I also like filling them instead with "Featured article" (likely taking inspiration from Wikipedia's own featured article on the main page, notice), versions timeline, and the nice "Developers" navigation. I miss the "News and events" section, as it was useful in providing a general outlook into the Minecraft franchise (as oppose to just the games themselves), though, I can see why it wasn't implemented as there isn't a lot of space in the page to do that. Overall, I'm really grateful that not only you publicly showcase the redesign in its earliest stages, but also letting the community to contribute and refine it overtime!

Why is the Core UI style used as the basis? It does not correspond to either the standard theme or the classic one. How many users use Core UI, are there any statistics? If this is the last popular theme, I think it's worth changing the style to a more modern one - minimalistic, without huge frames. Also, the question is, why is it so pale? It seems to me that the backgrounds of the buttons with icons should be painted in a contrasting color, for example, the color of the franchise since in my opinion they look depressing now. — Secret-Rabbit ^{(talk | contributions )} 18:28, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

It's mostly an aesthetic choice. As Delycache already said, we already have this style of buttons in the sidebar.

This isn't a bug per se, but is due to the fact that the expanded version list makes the left column larger, which the right column then needs to compensate for with more spacing.

Three things on mobile view on mobile (iPad 9th generation, v.17.3.1) that are wrong/could be made better:

1. Not just mobile, but also desktop. When sticky header gadget is enabled, the scrolling section of the Related Communities's title is obscured by the sticky header.
2. Not a problem, but there's a space after the Bedrock Editor versions on the Latest versions sections that looks like something should be there, but there isn't. I suggest making the last item centered.
3. I'm guessing that this is a CSS problem, but the items on the articles section (where there's Trading, Brewing, etc.) are listed (for me) as row of 6, row of 6, row of 4. This could be solved in terms of an inequality of the links as row of 6, row of 5, row of 5.

1. Fixed; the icons aren't all the same size now, but if there's space, the icons won't try to expand as much on mobile now.

2. Fixed by making the language buttons adapt to the width of the screen or centered if there's not enough buttons in a row.

3. One, to save space since we want mobile users to get to the relevant content ASAP ("above the fold", it's pretty important for websites). Second, the logo is already on top of the page on the mobile skin, so it'd just be duplicated.

Lmk if there's more concerns from your side! | violine1101 ^(talk) 22:43, 7 March 2025 (UTC), edit 23:29, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

 Support This looks awesome on both desktop and mobile. My only suggestion for the desktop version is to move the "Help Us improve" section and the "Wiki News" section above the "Did you know?" section. -BrianGLHF (talk) 00:00, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Well, I like the new main page, so how about the entire wiki is redesigned to look like Ore UI? Would this be awesome? 2A00:23C8:229D:C301:C4D8:F0AB:1C47:909C 12:27, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

There is a OreUI theme available to logged-in users already, although it's not default. It may become available to logged out users at some point in the future as well. | violine1101 ^(talk) 00:17, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

 Strong support this redesign because... it's really good! There were some issues (there still are), but now it's a lot better thanks to the hard work Dian and Violine have put into it (nice job on that, by the way!). I'm especially looking forward to the new spinoff support. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  16:26, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

 Strong support. However, the Twitter logo should be changed to the X logo MinecraftBedrockPlayer7 (talk)(contribs) 👁 Image

Are we still accepting links to related communities? Minecraft@Home seems like a worthy candidate. - User-12316399 (talk) 13:37, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Feel free to add it. However personally I'm not sure if it'd fit: the communities (websites/discord servers) that are currently listed as "related" have somewhat direct ties to us - as in, we have editors who are active in both communities and those communities also contribute in some way to our wiki. I'm not sure if that applies to MC@H. | violine1101 ^(talk) 13:42, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this would be excessive, but since we now have a mascot for the wiki, maybe they could feature on the main page somehow, somewhere near the bottom? - User-12316399 (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

 Support Looks amazing!  Nixinova   T   C   07:34, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

@Dianliang233, why do files included on the main page need full protection? There are no direct links to them so autoconfirmed protection is enough. Arina (she/her) 10:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I'm not getting what you're saying? GIM Dianliang233 (talk) 11:22, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

You've just fully protected all files included on the main page. Why when there are no direct links to them here (i.e. you can't just click on the image and view the file's page directly from the main page) so protecting them to autoconfirmed users would be enough? Arina (she/her) 13:40, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

They need full protection because we can't afford vandalism in these. It is not very hard to get autoconfirm if you are patient enough. Also, if any autoconfirmed messed up in any of the files, it would directly reflect on the main page to thousands of readers. - 👁 Image
