Sidebar reorganisation proposal #6845

Description

@delucis

Prompted by #6791, I wanted to share a plan for the page sidebar to address a few longstanding issues.

Current sidebar

docs sidebar featuring table of contents and a contribute section with links to contribute, edit, translate, and give feedback

Overall aims

  • Stop using the page sidebar for links other than table of contents. Links here are inaccessible on narrower viewports.
  • Create space for new helpful links, notably to https://community.astro.build

Proposal

  1. Move our edit and translate links down to the bottom of the page content. An edit link is displayed there already currently, we’d add the translation one.
  2. Create a new page footer below the pagination arrows for additional links. Initially these would be our current “Contribute” and “Give Feedback” items from the sidebar, plus a new “Community” link.

Overall the result would look something like this:

docs page section showing edit and translate links above the pagination arrows, and a footer below that with contribute, feedback, and community links
