The Web team was in charge of the reading experiences for all the web users of the Wikimedia projects. We worked on both mobile web and desktop. As part of Core Experiences, we collaborated closely with the Growth and Editing teams.
Check out our repository and learn more about:

A few years ago, our team would use the names Reading Web or Readers Web, and before that (until 2015-ish) Mobile Web. You may still find these names used in the documentation.
Current projects
[edit]We want to improve the ways readers discover pages, articles, media, and other content across Wikipedia. This work will focus on making it easier to learn and find content on-wiki.
