Wikipedia, the crowdsourced online knowledge repository that’soften the first point of referencewhile researching anything and everything on the web, is finally getting a refreshed look after ten long years. According to the Wikimedia Foundation – the non-profit organization behindWikipedia– the desktop version of the website will soon don a new look that will enhance the experience for both readers and contributors.

Since its inception, Wikipedia has become theprimary source of informationon the web, with a whopping 53 million articles across 300+ languages. However, while the site’s content has grown rapidly, the website’s design hasn’t seen any substantive changes for the past 10 years, which is why the Foundation is finally getting down to bringing the platform on par aesthetically and functionally with other, more modern-looking websites.
