Broken TOC (Table of Contents): No indentation -- SOLVED
Does anyone know how to fix this? https://i.imgur.com/0eUDx0m.png I can't figure out why this is happening. It's a completely fresh install of MediaWiki 1.31.1 using the bundled Timeless skin. Drirton (talk) 23:49, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * So as it would turn out, it was an easy fix. I was using the bundled version of the skin that came with MediaWiki 1.31.1. So I deleted it from my  directory and installed the latest development version (master), reloaded the page, and it worked perfectly. Hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into this problem. Anywho- thanks for fixing that in the latest version. It's a beautiful skin. That was just a really big problem for me. Drirton (talk) 00:05, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Purge page tab not working
I love the skin. It is beautiful, and I love that it is responsive. But I am trying to either install the Purge extension or the Purge gadget, which is supposed to add a menu or tab item to easily purge a page. Both the extension and the gadget work fine in the vector skin, but they do not work in the timeless skin. It seems that the Timeless skin is not recognizing the Hooks/SkinTemplateNavigation. Are there any plans to fix this?

Visual Editor support
Hi, thanks for the best skin for mediawiki. But i have question, can it be edited to work with visual editor?

Well i made progress here: https://github.com/ElNovi/mediawiki-skins-Timeless

Formatting on search page.
I don't know if anyone else will come across this, but I was getting some weird formatting on the search page.



I was however able to get this fixed (at least for now) by editing /w/resources/src/mediawiki.special/mediawiki.special.search.css.

Specifically this; .mw-search-results { margin-left: 0.4em; float: left; }

Changed to; .mw-search-results { margin-left: 0.4em; float: center; }

Now it displays like this:



Just putting this here in case anyone else comes across this issue.


 * General note, this has been fixed at some point. -— Isarra ༆ 20:18, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Hover menus
Speaking of something I noticed when trying it out here: https://simple.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Baseball_uniform?useskin=timeless

Hover menus like that require skilled mouse pointing/usage, which can prove difficult for people with hand mobility issues or who don't fully master mouse usage yet (eg. young children, people who are new to computers, etc.). Since the hover areas aren't links themselves, you could mitigate that problem by making hover menus stick open if one clicks on the area that triggers the hover menu at the moment. Subsequently trying to click on the links the menu contains, with the menu stuck open, becomes less difficult because accidentally hovering outside no longer closes the menu.

There are probably other solutions, but as it stands, this kind of hover menu can create frustration for people who already have a frustrating web browsing experience where clicking on a link that doesn't move is already a challenge, let alone one that is conditionally visible.

Also, I don't know how well that hover menu would interact with screen readers, that probably needs testing.

Thank you for an elegant skin. I have one small problem: with a narrow window so the side panes disappear, the drop-down menu only work if javascript is turned on. Turning off javascript save SO much money on mobile data plans. It would be excellent to have as many features as possible work with no javascript. Also don't know if this affects screenreaders. 75.159.190.12 23:14, 12 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Clarification: the menus work without javascript, until the screen is so narrow that the drop-down menus all switch from text labels to icon labels (similar to those shown below, but not the same files). At this test page, narrowing eventually causes the menus "Navigation", "Wiki tools", "Page tools", and OOjs UI icon userAvatar.svg (all of which work) to be replaced by a Ic_menu_48px.svg menu, two OOjs_UI_icon_advanced.svg menus and a  a OOjs UI icon userAvatar.svg menu (none of which work). However, with javascript turned on, the menus not only work, they work in the click-toggle manner GDubuc (WMF) advocated above. The icons do not seem to have alt-texts in either script setting, so they might be a problem for screenreaders. Sorry for the ambiguity, Isarra. 75.159.190.12 17:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Each of the mobile click toggles is an h2 with the label outdented, and so should work with screen readers. But yeah, definitely need more consistent handling, including nojs support, here. -— Isarra ༆ 14:00, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Feedback
This skin has got several features I have been thinking about for years. Well done, ! However, there are a few improvements I would humbly like to suggest: Anyway, congratulations for your work so far!--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 23:19, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking at a page like this, one sees too many colors. The colors of the links and images are inevitable. Nor do I mind the colored horizontal line under the search box (although one color might be better than three, I don't know), but the red and the blue under the headings are definitely superfluous.
 * Headings of different levels are too similar in size.
 * I think that "site functions" and "page functions" should be appropriately differentiated. They are not differentiated in the current Vector skin, but this could be a major area of improvement. It would not be bad, for example, to have all "site functions" in the left sidebar and all "page functions" on the right. You could try moving "Print/export", as well as all the "Wiki tools" except "Upload file" and "Special pages", to the right; the result may be interesting.

I see on your userpage that you are also creating less "serious" skins, which better suit certain kinds of non-Wikimedia projects. The suggestions I give above, especially the one about the colors, are specifically intended for the kind of work we do here at Wikimedia projects. So they may or may not interest you, depending on the scope you want your skin to have.--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 23:26, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The colours problem has been partially addressed, but I've left T182388 open regardless, as it's still perhaps a bit much. Also apparently filed T207608 later as a partial duplicate, but that might be more about the internal specification of the colours.
 * Heading sizes/distinction has been a running issue for a long time, not just in Timeless. Filed T211360 for general case here, though, and some specific examples are also on phabricator.
 * Doesn't Timeless already do this? That's like half the skin's internal horribleness just to do that. And as I recall someone killed most of the other half to get hotcat working...
 * -— Isarra ༆ 17:47, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * #3 I'm looking at an article on the English Wikipedia: "Print/export" and "In other projects", which concern the page, are placed alongside "Navigation" and "Interaction", which concern the site; just below these, "Cite this page" and "Get shortened URL", which concern the page, are placed alongside "Upload file" and "Special pages", which concern the site. But maybe you have no control over this… Does it all depend on how the individual wikis are manually set up?--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 21:52, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Some of it, yeah. Timeless' handling is literally just me having it try to sort out specific things by searching for them specifically, but it also may be time I updated it for things that aren't just part of the wiki's config, too... -— Isarra ༆ 14:02, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Font needs improvement
Somehow the font used by this skin is bad. After a couple of minutes I get a headache probably since it is pretty blurry and small. I think it will be better to use the same font as for the Vector skin. I am using the skin an a regular PC with 1920 x 1080. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 22:35, 4 September 2017 (UTC)


 * @kgh - At the risk of sounding argumentative, I think the font selection is fine. I have older eyes, and I configure the browser with 110% Zoom for all pages. Maybe that speaks to the need for a $wgTimelessFontScale setting. Noloader (talk) 04:35, 24 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, I think it's bad too, but whether or not it's apt to be an issue is a bit of a platform-specific thing. I just haven't gotten around to killing it. -— Isarra ༆ 22:28, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Grant proposal: Post-deployment support for Timeless and stuff
Note, I've submitted a grant proposal on meta to better address all the work needed on Timeless.

Also, separate note, I do appreciate all the issues/questions people are bringing up here and do plan to properly address them as well when I can. I'm not just ignoring you, I swear. -— Isarra ༆ 19:50, 17 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Good luck with the proposal and grant. It would be nice to see you compensated for your time. Its one thing when a small number of users need support and you can do it in your spare time. It's a different situation when the skin is adopted system-wide and support demands increase 5 fold. Noloader (talk) 04:11, 24 December 2017 (UTC)


 * To be fair, wide adoption does mean it can be much more quickly debugged and such, so there is that. Generally speaking the issues would be there whether there's ten users or several hundred. -— Isarra ༆ 22:27, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Can I help?
I love the Timeless skin. It's way better than the defaults. If I can help track down bugs, I'm willing to do so. I'm not a programmer, but I can read and understand code somewhat, and I can track things down pretty well. One thing I'm having trouble with is a custom button in WikiEditor appears randomly. Sometimes it's there when you open edit. Sometimes I have to reload the page repeatedly before it shows up. I don't think this is a problem related to the Timeless skin, but perhaps it is. Txantimedia (talk) 22:29, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you test and see if this issue occurs in other skins? -— Isarra ༆ 20:06, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

wikisource feedback

 * s:Wikisource:Scriptorium. Slowking4 (talk) 01:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Archived to s:Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archives/2017-12

For more inline reference:
 * 1) Index: namespace— drop down list field for "type" is too wide for central pane
 * 2) both right and left menus, the opposite of "minerva", loads fast - top "your account" drop down box - hides some left menu, would rather move it all there. "more" menu on right is a waste of real estate. waste of space on top toolbar for a large search box
 * apparently works better on wikipedia, with four dropdown menus: navigation; wiki tools; page tools; languages. with a fifth user menu with search box. maybe they should check out why it does not work the same for wikisource?
 * 1) font-size is too big which is causing wrapping in prev/next, and in pop-up forms.

1. appears to have since been fixed; 2. seems to cover various issues with the nav layout... UX ain't great, but we'll see if some of the other rijigs help with this (improved header, user preferences for how to handle the site nav). 3. is... a problem, yes.

I know it's been a stupidly long time, but can you link to specific examples for any of these? -— Isarra ༆ 21:50, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Isarra - sorry about the the delay.
 * . Index seems to be working well.
 * . did not realize that the menus dynamically shift to top drop down at higher zoom level. this is a nice feature for small screens. (maybe some user orientation would be good)
 * . i see "previous page" ; "next page" buttons work well (other skins use "<" ; ">" alternate solution for font size problem)
 * here are some screenshots showing zoom level, to make left menu collapse. File:Timeless skin half zoomed in.jpg; File:Timeless skin zoomed in.jpg - i will be using this going forward, it allows more zoom on a small screen, by grabbing real estate from left hand menu. and give a VE-like appearance, but with better wikisource menu options (VE has a wikipedia focus of menu choices, which renders it less useful) don't know what adoption will be among the grumpy old men, but i will try demonstrating with newbies.

Wierd link

 * It's the page self-link (the page tab in others) often used to reload the page/whatever. That's probably not the best place for it on mobile special pages, though... if it even makes sense to keep it at all at that point. -— Isarra ༆ 22:25, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Nice
Nice skin! Works great on es.wiki. -- Mia o w   00:02, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Not quite…
It looks nice, but after a while I start to notice a kind of error. There are simply to many layers at the top in the half-compact view. You have site (with search and personal), site navigation, page, and page navigation. Four levels? Add that some pages at Wikipedia has their own levels. This is simply way to much!

Add site navigation as icons at the site level, and likewise add page navigation as icons at the page level. That would shrink the top to two levels, and make it more manageable.

In the very-compact view there are icons for this, but the line for page navigation is still there. That leaves three levels, which is one too many.

My gut feeling is that this skin needs further cleansing of unneeded stuff, it tries to keep to many elements visible. What we sell is content, not navigation. Now it has become way to much navigation. Jeblad (talk) 07:43, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Remove wiki logo through LocalSettings.php


Isarra, thank you very much for the Timeless skin. I think it is one of the best MediaWiki offers.

I would like to use Timeless as our default skin, but I would like one change. I would like to disable the logo on our wiki, and I would like the menu's on the left shifted up to take its place. The menu's on the left are Navigation and Wiki Tools. I think our logo looks bad on this particular skin (though it looks good with MonoSpace, Vector, and other skins).

A second request is, I would like to set "no logo" through LocalSettings.php. That's because our skins (and extensions) are clones of the repo's that provide them. Each night a cron job runs that does a git reset --hard HEAD && git pull in the local repo. The script resets any changes and updates the skin to the latest source (you can see the script here). Because the daily update would discard a local change we like to persist the change through LocalSettings.php.

As [I believe] the image on the right shows, our logo detracts from the skin's handsomeness.

 * Aha! Thank you! I have put Timeless-master-0b821b4 into the development version of my wiki. Anchors are working better now than in the MW1.31.1 Timeless version. However, each page Table of Contents link still overshoots its anchor targets every time after the first time it is clicked. One time use? Hmm. If I do a page reload each page Table of Contents item works again the first time I click it, but overshoots it's target thereafter, till I reload the page again. So something is not quite right there I think. Hope this helps! BTW, my favorite feature of Timeless is the way the page layout automatically modifies to suit small screens like smartphones.

Highlighting issue
Now that's pretty odd, but I have a highlighting problem in Chrome (also Opera and Maxthon, but not IE!). When I try to select some symbols to copy with my mouse, it just selects three or four symbols and then stops doing that. I move the cursor, but nothing happens - four symbols selected, that's all. Then if I move mouse far away - to the other line, for example, plenty of symbols suddenly get selected, but then it freezes again. I've figured this happens only with this skin applied. Also I've noticed, that this happens only to those pages which are short and don't have a scrollbar. This is extremeley wierd, but that's how it works. Also I've noticed, that if I narrow my browser window so that scrollbar appears, highlighting starts to work.

I am running a wiki with Timeless as the default skin (thank-you people it is wonderful) and would like to move all of the portlets that exist by default (#site-navigation and #site-tools) with the exception of the logo (#p-logo) to the right of the content (#mw-content) as I am expecting to add a lot of sidebar links and I don't want it to look lopsided.

Anyone got any CSS to do the trick? El komodos drago (talk) 16:27, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Anchor links cuts off header text
The text starts below the header. You can see the header if you scroll up. We need to show the header text so the user can see that he is in the right chapter.

I have tried several solution I've found online, but no one works. Can this be done in Timeless.css?
 * Yeah, nothing working (consistently) has been a problem I've encountered as well, having tried to fix it several times - I'll try again uuuuh next week, probably, because this is seriously annoying. -— Isarra ༆ 10:49, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Add content after h1
Thanks a lot for skin, it perfectly works for mobile devices! Is it possible to add some html or javascript code after tag H1?
 * Well, js is easy - just attach it to h1s as usual with jQuery or whatever... but I don't know that doing it through interface messages or even skin-side is really feasible. Don't think we have anything to do that. -— Isarra ༆ 10:29, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Or do you mean like what WikiVoyage does with Extension:WikidataPageBanner? -— Isarra ༆ 10:53, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Font change recently?
I have noticed today (6th May 2019) that there is new font in Timeless skin for Wikipedia. Or is it some bug on my PC? Anyway, I like it, it makes wiki more readable than arial. Wector88 (talk) 11:42, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah. It changed, and then it changed again. Hopefully it's not worse again now - I tried very hard to keep arial out of it, because I Do Not Like arial, but this doesn't mean the others are that great either... -— Isarra ༆ 10:27, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
 * as a person who bored with Arial in MediaWiki the new font is fresh. Vulp here  14:36, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Whoo! -— Isarra ༆ 23:34, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Two-column references
At this test page, the references always come in two columns, even if the screen is really wide or really narrow. It would be a bit easier to read if it adapted. 75.159.190.12 18:02, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Change style of TOC (Table of contents)
Is there a way to get vector-skin-look on toc in timeless-skin? Or is there a way to remove line-breaks in timeless-skin toc?

Skinning
I was wondering if anyone knew what files I need to edit to change the background and such. I have been reviewing the skin folder and I am stuck.--Stefen moss (talk) 00:28, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * What exactly are you trying to do? -— Isarra ༆ 19:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

NWE-CodeMirror-Timeless bug
Is there any chance of an investigation into the issue I've reported in Topic:V3ap9inic4lnhfim? --Idrisz19 (talk) 14:45, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This was just fixed last week, so you should be seeing the problem go away sometime this week, assuming no deployment delays. If not, please yell at me and I'll take another look. -— Isarra ༆ 19:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, it works fine now. --Idrisz19 (talk) 17:10, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Replace site title with image logo
Hi all!

I'm trying to modify the great Timeless skin for my wiki and I would like to replace the site title appearing at the top left, next to the search bar, with an image. How would I go about it?

Wikitable backgrounds
On some wikitables, when using this skin, the background colour of the cells does not appear. If you switch to Vector it shows, but for some reason it does not on Timeless. See below on the 'b' cell:

You can see it on articles such as List of the verified oldest people. --Voello (talk) 23:33, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
