Denny VrandečićReading the Artemis II article on Wikipedia, I noticed the Wikipedia BabyGlobe spinning in space on the side.
Wonderful!
Amir E. Aharoni@vrandecic Horrible, actually. This animation is completely unrelated to the content of the article, it's awfully distracting (at least to my ADHD brain), and it's very hard to disable. If you think that the "Birthday mode (Baby Globe) settings" label makes it easy to disable, you're wrong—lots of people, including some experienced Wikipedians, don't think so.
@aharoni I love it, and I think it's super cute. But I'm a sucker for cute things like that.
And, as you say, there's a way to switch it off.
@vrandecic The question is not whether it's cute or not. The problem is that it's animated and distracting, and even though there is a way to switch it off, it's more difficult than you think.
I'm all for having more animations in Wikipedia, but they need to be actually relevant to the article, and those, too, should be easy to stop.
