Spalding Yes! I would love to combine a little Donald Norman, Jakob Nielsen and Steve Krug with Jimmy Wales to make Wikipedia even better. In a sense we're all usability testers when we read articles on unfamiliar subjects.

The Neokid Talk - Usability is still a big problem, and needs to be conquered effectively. I have skills in HTML, XHTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP and ASP (although the last two aren't that important for usability).

Nihiltres^(t.l) 15:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC) I'm particularly interested in minimizing the use of the evil {{click}} template by replacing it with cleaner ImageMap code.[reply]
OwenBlacker — XHTML, CSS, Wikimarkup. I'm particularly interested in removing all text (I have a strong astygmatism). Anyone bothered by adjacent links might be interested in {{,}} (that is: the template "comma", which inserts a superscript comma between adjacent citation links. 18:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think you might mean "small text"! Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits

Pretzels^Talk! 17:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
User:Anime Addict AA - mainly concerned about usability issues, especially the way-too-big pages that some editors refuse to split into more, because of notability issues (I dare to say they invent), or even if the split is made, it's just used as an excuse to AfD the split article and "artificially" reduce the main article's size; other things that I find valid above is the problem about new users, that they are hardly taught and that jargon on Wikipedia is most of the time more important than the actual facts and contents of the articles. 18:02, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
User:Barney Lerten -- I too think Wikipedia would grow hugely in quantity and quality of pages/info if the special characters were hidden from the vast majority of users and the tools were adapted to make it possible to do most general-purpose things with a mouse click or general word-processing style. The article body should default in edit mode to showing in true WYSIWYG fashion, with a back-page showing the raw Wiki code for those in need/so inclined. THAT would be revolutionary, a true Wikipedia 2.0 'for the people' and while the chances for abuse also would jump, I think that would be drowned out in the dramatic increase in material - and folks' willingness to keep the material fresh and accurate (and fair)!
Tarheel95-- I think I can combine my expertise with outlines with this project!! I'd love to help out!
Dodoïste (talk) 21:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC) - Especially to work on navigation architecture, menus, breadcrumb and seven plus or minus two.[reply]
— SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. – I am all about usability. Getting proper full HTML support in MediaWiki has been a years-long goal of mine (with some progress actually made against initial developer reluctance to add support for things like <dfn> and <kbd>), along with undoing bad practices on Wikipedia that violate the letter or spirit of the HTML, XMTML or other specs, commonly accepted usability wisdom, or known accessibility maxims.
— Edokter • Talk • -- Clean and simple code is my motto, without forgetting functionality. I am fairly knowledgable on HTML and CSS, and I keep an eye on several templates and site-wide CSS files. — Edokter • Talk • 01:21, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
