Skin:Vector/fi

Vektori on MediaWikin ulkoasu, joka korvasi MonoBookin oletusulkoasuna vuonna 2010. It had been created in 2009 as part of the work done by the.

Vector provides a number of usability improvements over its predecessor. It was the first skin to separate the flat level content_actions into the categorized content_navigation.

At the beginning the basic functionality was included in the core skin, while some of Vector's special features were handled by a separate extension. The extension has since been merged into the skin itself.

In recent years the skin underwent a number of changes, e.g. the switch to and the addition of new features. The latter are controlable by feature switches so that users can still be served to legacy layout.

wgVectorUseIconWatch

 * Watch and unwatch as an icon rather than a link.
 * true = use an icon watch/unwatch button
 * false = use watch/unwatch text link

wgVectorResponsive
Not actively being tested or used in production (yet) but relatively stable and false by default.
 * Experimental setting to make Vector slightly more responsive.
 * true = Use responsiveness to improve usability in narrow viewports
 * false = No responsiveness

wgVectorPrintLogo
Logo used in print styles. Keys are 'url', 'width', 'height' (in pixels). Note that this solution only works correctly if the image pointed to by 'url' is an SVG that does not specify width and height attributes, or its width and height match the corresponding variables below. Alternatively, a PNG or other type of image can be used, but its dimensions also need to match the corresponding variable below. That in turn may result in blurry images, though.

Responsive web design
Serving this skin to mobile viewers is discouraged.

Vector currently has a poor implementation of responsive web design, in which the  buttons might overlap the   buttons due to width shortage, with no fallback icons like on skin: Monobook, skin: MinervaNeue and skin: Timeless viewed on narrow displays.

In addition, the left side bar navigation links inside, as well as the top links inside  , move to the bottom of the page on narrow displays, beneath the content area, requiring the user to scroll to the bottom before being able to access it.
