Clickbait headlines get justifiably trashed on HN, but this is an example of a headline that is creative and playful while also communicating the essential information:
- First word says exactly what the article is about: Wikipedia.
- First two words give more precision and the news itself: "Wikipedia's Redesign."
- First sentence communicates it was a minor redesign.
- Second sentence communicates it was intentional, and there will be rationale shared.
This type of headline writing should be expected, but sadly it's the exception.
