Problem: Currently skins of Wikimedia wikis don't support responsive layout, dark mode and font size adjusting. We need a modern skin in Wikimedia wikis.
Proposed solution: Deploy mw:Skin:Citizen to Wikimedia wikis.
Who would benefit: Readers who want a better reading experience.
You have to register / log in to be able to select a non-default skin. Without a good way of communicating that to readers, there isn't much value in a reader-focused skin. --Tgr (talk)
Skin author here. I am not confident in my ability to maintain the skin up to WMF production standards by myself, due to the complexity and knowledge needed for the Wikimedia ecosystem (e.g. editor needs, extension support, etc.).
I agree with Tgr here, anon makes up the majority of readers and there isn't a user-friendly way to switch skins. The problem listed above is being tackled in other ways, such as Vector 2022. Skin is only part of the equation. Many content on WMF wikis are designed for Vector and sometimes for a specific scenario, implementing responsive layout, dark mode, and flexible font size would be a huge challenge as well.

Oppose I went to the Citizen wiki from the linked page and immediatly saw text overlapping with UI buttons and checkboxes floating in weird places (firefox). This is clearly a half-baked skin. SmallJarsWithGreenLabels (talk) 22:13, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Definitely not suited for the Wikimedia format. Maybe for video game wikis, but no, not here. Also, as TGR pointed out, implementing this would be ineffective regardless. --Firestar464 (talk) 01:09, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
