Sir or Madam:
This is my first MediaZilla posting, so please excuse any ignorance on my
part of your protocols for this procedure. I am submitting this because I
couldn't find any record of it on your site.
My proposal relates specifically to the Wikipedia website user experience,
namely a lack of an ability to keep a user-specific record or "card-file" of
favorite Wikipedia articles, arranged in whatever order the user desires.
Currently, this function is served through the relatively cumbersome web-browser
bookmarking interface, which in my opinion, suffers from deficiencies both in
terms of complexity, and also, to the best of my knowledge, the inability to
transfer a specific user's browser preferences from one machine to the next
without a thumbdrive or similar device.
I think the best way of implementing this feature would be to place the
"favorites" tab alongside the "watch" tab. In the initial implementation of
this feature, opening the "favorites" tab reveals the list of favorite articles.
Articles would be added to the "favorites" list by inserting an "add to
favorites" link somewhere on the Wikipedia page for logged-in users.
Thanks and best regards,
Hal
