Discussion

• This was the #2 wish in the 2019 survey. We investigated and even began work, and as much as we wanted to finish it we unfortunately had to stop due to some technical challenges and conflicts with the Desktop Improvements project. You can learn more by reading our status report. This is not to say dark mode won't happen some day; I think it definitely will, but I'm afraid it won't be from Community Tech. As such I'm going to decline this proposal. Thanks for participating in the survey, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 02:18, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
