Participation in the Muppet Wiki Forums requires a full understanding of the Rules and Etiquette.

Hey all! As some of you already know, 2021 will be the year of the Fandom/Gamepedia desktop skin redesign, called FandomDesktop. In order to help communities better prepare, understand, but especially get insight and be able to get involved by sharing their feedback, Fandom has been releasing blog posts with the latest updates on the design.

The latest reveal is "A deeper look at Navigation on FandomDesktop", which gives you some more insights and mock-ups for how search, profile submenu, and notifications will look, and some insights as to how the decision about the new local navigation came to be.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I strongly recommend giving it a read (click here). Should you have any questions or concerns about it, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Good or bad, I'd love to hear your opinion on it all! Any and all feedback you have to share on this is relevant for me to know.

In case you have missed the previous blogs:

The first blog was about Introducing FandomDesktop, the new look and feel for desktop users (read here)
The second blog was about A deeper look at Article Pages on FandomDesktop (read here)

Looking forward to receive your feedback! Lady Lostris / SOAP 20:12, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Regarding the Creator Toolbox... will these links be customizable for each user the way that the bottom navigation bar is now? —Scott

I know some things are still being reviewed about that, so for now I want to defer to the blog post Will announced to release next. If the answer isn't cleared up there, I'll go hunting for one :-) Lady Lostris /

Also, will this be the space where admin tools live? i.e. Move page, Protect page, Purge page, etc. —Scott

You're referring to the tools that are accessed by pressing the arrow next to the edit button, right? Then no, these are different. These tools will be accessible directly form the right rail, so no need to press anything else to access them. Lady Lostris /

I'm confused. Are there two right rails? —Scott

No, you will have one right rail, though you will have the option to collapse this. On the left of the screen, you'll have the Fandom global nav, which is now at the top. Lady Lostris / SOAP 17:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
