This was to build this capacity within limitations described below.</div> <p>Anonymous preferences would make the pages load too slowly. </p><p>Most traffic comes from logged-out users. To handle that, we have a few "caching servers" which only save and send "snapshots" of web pages. These "snapshots" are <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124954#3703453" class="extiw" title="phab:T124954">up to 7 days old</a>, are a replacement for generating web pages, and are the same for all logged-out users. This allows us to serve pages quickly. </p><p>Preferences require generating different versions of web pages. Making this possible for logged-out users would overload our servers. We don't want to do that also because we need to reduce cache <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(computing)" class="extiw" title="w:Fragmentation (computing)">fragmentation</a>. </p><p>The only possible way of providing preferences for logged-out users now is making the settings load always after the page. This takes <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/browser-reflow">much more time to load</a> and looks odd. For example, if a logged-out user was to see the dark mode in action, then immediately after loading each page, they would first see the light interface for a short moment, and then the interface would become dark. </p><p>For context, the only reason we have preferences for logged-in users is we don't serve the "snapshots" to them. And this is because traffic coming from logged-in users is small. </p><p>See also: </p> <ul><li><a href="https://diff.wikimedia.org/2018/04/24/new-data-center-singapore/" class="extiw" title="wmfblog:2018/04/24/new-data-center-singapore/">How a new data center in Singapore is helping people access Wikipedia around the globe</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/07/15/building-dreamers-how-and-why-we-opened-a-datacenter-in-france/">Building DReaMeRS: How and why we opened a datacenter in France</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2018/12/12/why-performance-matters/">Why performance matters</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="What_do_you_do_for_editors_who_need_specific_tools_and_features?" data-mw-thread-id="h-What_do_you_do_for_editors_who_need_specific_tools_and_features?-How_to_customize_Vector_2022?"><span id="What_do_you_do_for_editors_who_need_specific_tools_and_features.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-What_do_you_do_for_editors_who_need_specific_tools_and_features?-How_to_customize_Vector_2022?"></span>What do you do for editors who need specific tools and features?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-What_do_you_do_for_editors_who_need_specific_tools_and_features?-How_to_customize_Vector_2022?"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Frequently_asked_questions&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: What do you do for editors who need specific tools and features?">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>We contact volunteers with technical skills to ensure backward compatibility.

During this phase, in 2019, we studied the way people used the sites and identified the largest usability issues. We also identified issues to exploring the site further, becoming more engaged with reading or editing. We did this by interviewing readers and editors across multiple countries, locations, and languages. See: <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Repository/Research_and_design:_Phase_1" title="Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Repository/Research and design: Phase 1">Research and design: Phase 1</a>, <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Repository/Research_and_design:_Phase_2" title="Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Repository/Research and design: Phase 2">Research and design: Phase 2</a>.</li> <li><b>We built and tested prototypes</b>. We built out the ideas of each feature and began showing them to the users. Each feature was tested with readers and editors through interviews and wider rounds of prototype testing. For testing with editors, we used central notice banners. We displayed them across multiple language and Wikimedia projects so that we can get a wide and diverse audience. Each prototype was tested by approximately 200 editors on average. (<a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Prototype_testing" title="Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Prototype testing">Example</a>)</li> <li><b>We refined and built our features</b>. We took the feedback from the prototype testing and refined or changed the prototypes accordingly. In some cases, we asked for additional feedback to ensure we're making the right decisions.</li> <li>We contacted various wikis asking to <b>join the <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Frequently_asked_questions#Which_wikis_these_changes_are_default_turned_on?" title="Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Frequently asked questions">early adopters</a> ("pilot wikis")</b>. This was the "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Beta" class="extiw" title="w:Software release life cycle">beta</a>" phase. On these wikis, we performed quantitative tests for whether each feature worked as expected. <ol><li>We <b>performed A/B testing</b> on logged-in users. Unfortunately, we are not able to perform these on logged-out users. This is why we make before and after comparisons.</li> <li>When we had the test results, we compared the results with the criteria of success we had previously defined. When we got negative results from our test, we changed the feature and test again.</li> <li>Since this phase, we have also monitored usage across all wikis, where many account holders have already been using Vector 2022.</li></ol></li></ol> <p>See also: </p> <ul><li>An encyclopedic article: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_and_incremental_development" class="extiw"
