Duplicated. It's got declined from 2019 see more Community Tech/Status report for 2019 wishlist#Night Mode. Patsagorn Y. (Talk) 04:41, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just to add on to the suggestions listed when the project was declined (linked by Patsagorn Y), you can also use browser extensions to get a dark theme. I use Dark Reader for Firefox which delivers the Wiki sites without any problems on my end. --Lollipoplollipoplollipop (talk) 06:47, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
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 archive this proposal. Thanks for participating in the survey, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 02:19, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
