With Best Practices updates on how to make information more accessible for people, it would be best to remove tabs from the wiki. Whilst they look nice, unfortunately in practice by their nature they have the effect of making content harder to find. The way search engines work is that they view information has been added to tabs to mean that the information is less important.

This obviously is not the case, the content is vital and placed in tabs to be more user friendly but in actuality it isn’t, turns out not many people switch between the tabs to begin with. Not to mention that tabs do not show up on phones anyway and that is how over half (and always increasing) of people access information on the wiki.

It is the good type of change to help people, and yet sudden changes to something else even when positive can take adjusting to. So as a community it is up to everyone on whether this development is even wanted right now. This Chapter 1 example is what it would be like; the tabs are simply gone from the top with a regular link in a better place to show the visual overview of events. It is in a more appropriate location and with the tabs removed, the images will no longer be somewhat cloaked so people may be able to access them easier.
