The article starts out with the problem of wikipedia pages. Does anyone have a solution to wikipedia pages?

I tried to adapt the articles approach to wikipedia. Create an account on wikipedia, or login.

Then go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsec...

I chose MinervaNeue with Custom CSS. Here is what I set the CSS to:

  main {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns:
      1fr
      min(65ch, 100%)
      1fr;
  }
  main p {
   font-family: "Hoefler Text", Garamond, "Times New Roman", Cambria, Cochin, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif ;
  }
  main > * {
    grid-column: 2;
  }
  .infobox {
    width: 100%;
    grid-column: 1 / 4;
  }

It's ok. But the infobox isn't right. It takes up too much space from the main column.

Anybody got a better layout?




Not sure the answer to your question but worth mentioning that Wikipedia is working on a major redesign that will hopefully address some of these things.


From what I've understood it's already rolling out in small steps.


I like using Wikiwand. For example: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Hacker_News
