Discussion

• Something similar to wow.gamepedia.com? --Izno (talk) 04:24, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
• Isn't it better to use an OS-level solution for that, like f.lux or redshift? --Tgr (WMF) (talk) 22:44, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

  Or browser level like stylishWikipedia Dark skin —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:29, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

The three options are good.--VictorPines (talk) 21:03, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

• What will happen if a reader's terminal device provides night mode? Will it be too dark or yellowish to read?--Tigerzeng (talk) 15:58, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
• I rehabilitated the Green on black skin, but stopped as any fixes took weeks to integrate. Along with unmerged changes, I have prototype color for finding template/pages that break, and was planning on making the crowd pleaser gray-on-gray scheme. Dispenser (talk) 04:11, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

•  Support The WIkipedia app already has a great night-mode setting. But night-mode on desktop has been a perennial problem; a solution would be most appreciated. Thennicke (talk) 04:22, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
