Purpose

This project is focused on improving Nookipedia's mobile implementation and establishing mobile-focused design standards that enhance the user experience. One of the project's main areas of focus is the development of templates and tables that display well across a variety of devices.

Guidelines

These general guidelines aim to improve the mobile experience on the site, as over 70% of Nookipedia's readership comes from cellular or tablet devices. Following these suggestions will reduce the amount of clutter within our template and article pages, providing our users with a more productive reading and editing experience.

Please avoid:

  • Hovertext generated using template {{tt}}
Instead use template {{Note}} or see suggestions at the bottom of this page.
  • Expand/collapse buttons generated using class="collapsible"
Instead use the tabs extension as documented here.
Instead use a series of <div>s or consider simplifying your layout.
  • HTML & CSS styling on article pages
Instead limit HTML and CSS styling to template pages.
  • Duplicating wikitext code or CSS styling in template pages
Instead consider utilizing the loops extension.

We encourage:

  • Setting template widths to 100% to occupy the full width of the mobile display
  • Prioritizing vertical orientation of templates, or flexible templates capable of shifting their aspect ratio
  • Maximal information in minimal space to avoid excessively long pages/lots of scrolling
  • Use CSS Grids to create responsive designs and lists (e.g. see Template:VillagerGallery in action at Dog).
