Skin:Vector/2022

Vector (2022) is the second evolution of the MediaWiki Vector skin and is in development as part of the Desktop improvements project and in. It is the default skin for various Wikimedia projects.

Note about 1.38 release
The 1.38 release marked official 3rd party support for the skin however between 1.36 and 1.38 [ https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Skin:Vector&oldid=4975592#New_Vector_skin_in_1.36+ the skin has been available at 3rd parties own risk].

If a site has been using new Vector between 1.36 to 1.38, they will hit challenges when upgrading to the 1.38 release. This is unavoidable and one of the reasons why we've been discouraging the use of the new skin prior to 1.38.

If you have been using Vector 2022 as the default skin, they will need to update wgDefaultSkin in LocalSettings.php after upgrading:

If the site allowed users to opt into the new experience, these users will be served legacy Vector, and would need to revisit Special:Preferences to update their skin preference to Vector 2022.

For large wikis, where a change in skin may be disruptive to logged in users, you may want to consider writing a maintenance script to upgrade existing database preferences. See T299104 and for more details.
