Hololive Fan Wiki:Announcements/Vector 2022: Difference between revisions

When our wiki host, [[meta:Miraheze|Miraheze]], announced the rollout of [[meta:MediaWiki/1.38|MediaWiki 1.38]], one of the things included was '''[[mw:Skin:Vector/2022|Vector 2022]]''', a major visual upgrade our wiki's decade-old default skin, [[mw:Skin:Vector|Vector 2010]]. UnfortunatelyWe were eager to try it, but unfortunately, we quickly discovered that Vector 2022, as-is, features a narrower viewport for page content, breaking the formatting of many of our wiki's pages, including the Main Page. Thus, we decided to not adopt the new skin.

These two gadgets are called '''Vector 2022 Widener''' and '''MediaWiki 1.39 Article Toolbar''' respectively. To see what these change, see the [[#Examples]] below. With these two new gadgets in tow, we are revisiting the question of whether to adopt Vector 2022 (plus gadgets) as the default skin for all users of the wiki. The site-wide adoption is currently scheduled for August 9, 2022 JST.

The wiki staff has been testing Vector 2022 with these two gadgets for weeks now, and so far, we've found no issues. IfAhead of the official adoption however, if you'd like to try Vector 2022 with these gadgets for yourself, you can do so under your [[Special:Preferences|User Preferences]]. (First, enable the Vector 2022 skin under the ''[[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|Appearance]]'' tab. Then, you can enable either gadget under the ''[[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|Gadgets]]'' tab.)

AsJust forto mobilebe clear, thisthe new skin is for our ''desktop site only''. This upgrade does not affect the mobile version of our wiki since it uses a different skin entirely, [[mw:Skin:Minerva Neue|Minerva Neue]].

What do you think about making Vector 2022 our wiki's default skin? Let us know in the [[Hololive Fan Wiki talk:Announcements/Vector 2022|discussion page]]. If there is a community consensus, then we will proceed with making Vector 2022 the default skin for all users.
