Skin:Vector/de

Vector ist ein Skin für MediaWiki, welcher am 13. Mai 2010 Standard wurde (MediaWiki 1.17, ), nachfolgend auf MonoBook. Wikimedia Foundation führt Vector auf allen ihren wikis ein in 2010, having created it in 2009 as part of the work done by the Wikipedia Usability Initiative.

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 (Extension:Vector). 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 Mustache and the addition of new features. The latter are controlable by feature switches so that users can still be served to legacy layout.

wgVectorUseSimpleSearch

 * Search form look.
 * true = use an icon search button
 * false = use Go & Search buttons

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

 * Experimental setting to make Vector slightly more responsive. Not actively being tested or used in production (yet) but relatively stable and false by default.
 * 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.
