Visual elements on articles

Wallpapers | November 02, 2025 | No comments


Hey everyone, I just want to say that this whole "Grokipedia project" looks interesting... it is a nice source that cuts through the woke editorial slant that’s infected so much of Wikipedia’s writing. The Elon Musk entry is a perfect example: straight facts, first-principles tone, no ideological fluff.That being said, the pages would be way more useful (and frankly more professional) if they had some of Wikipedia’s visual tools:Infoboxes (birth date, net worth, companies, quick stats on the right)Images (portraits, company logos, rocket launches, etc.)Predefined templates for consistency (succession boxes, navboxes, citations, sheets, etc.)I get that user editing is off the table (since it's Grok who's checking most of the available information on it) but even a curated set of visual elements would make articles easier to scan and share. Right now it’s just pure white text with a black background. It's great for substance, but i'd said it is a missed opportunity for impact.Any plans to roll this out? Would love to see Grokipedia not just beat Wikipedia on content, but also on presentation. via /r/grokipedia https://ift.tt/QFPD8OE
