[edit]
  • Hi Monsoon trance, thanks for your idea. This concept of a "thing to know" corner seems a lot like an infobox which serves to summarize some of the content of an article. In general, the top portion of an article (called the lead) is often intended to summarize key information about the article topic. Given these two devices, having another article component that summarizes the article may seem a little redundant. Are there ways you have thought about improving existing article components like the lead or infoboxes? I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 21:28, 7 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
