Affiliation: Wikimedia Foundation Theme(s): Technology
Abstract:

Since 2020, the default desktop skin of the Wikimedia wikis has been changed to a new skin, currently known as Vector 2022. The communities have a lot of questions which I would like to address at the Meeting. Also, other major changes will come soon, like dark mode.

At first, there will be a presentation, next we'll play with a prototype (bring your laptops!), and then have a discussion.

  • Hi! How are you? Thank you so much for your workshop. Can Vector 2022 skin be modified in the future in order to serve as a single interface for both desktop & mobile editors? Best wishes,--W (talk) 13:40, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
