Reading

The Readers teams (Reader Experience and Reader Growth) are in charge of the reading experiences for all the web users of the Wikimedia projects. Reader Experience focuses on enhancing familiar core ways of learning and engagement, while Reader Growth focuses on new ways of learning and engagement. This approach is designed to ensure that our work advances both foundational and transformative user experiences, addressing the evolving needs of our projects and their diverse audiences.

We work on both mobile web and desktop, and are part of the Core Experiences group.

All reader-focused work was previously housed under one umbrella as Reading Web (archived), which was split in July 2025 to seed these two teams.

Prior to its iteration as the Web team, the team was known Reading Web or Readers Web, and before that (until 2015-ish) Mobile Web. You may still find these names used in the documentation.
