Skin:Vector/de

Vector ist ein Skin für MediaWiki, das 2010 als Nachfolger von MonoBook zum Standard geworden ist.

In den vergangenen Jahren machte das Skin eine Reihe von Veränderungen durch, z.B. den Wechsel zu und die Ergänzung einiger neuer Features. Die jüngeren lassen sich über einen Feature-Switch steuern, so das Benutzer weiterhin auf das althergebrachte Layout zugreifen können.

Note that this solution only works correctly if the image pointed to by  is an SVG that does not specify width and height attributes, or its width and height match the corresponding variables below.

Collapsible navigation
The collapsible navigation portals are now provided by the extension which will have to be installed additionally.

Experimental smartphone and tablet design
Vector will work on many mobile devices, but it is not fully optimized for mobile devices. As we approach the 1.36 release, Vector has been optimized to work with most tablets and an experimental mobile mode is available. In the upcoming 1.36 users will be able to enable a responsive mode using the following configuration:

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,  and  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.

History of the skin
Vector became default skin in 2010, succeeding MonoBook. Es wurde in 2009 als Teil der Arbeit von erstellt. In 2021, as part of the MediaWiki 1.36 release it will see an update as part of the work done by the Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements initiative.

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

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.

Dark mode customizations
Many solutions relying on MediaWiki:Common.css exist to support a dark version of the skin, including Skin:Vector/DarkCSS and Skin:Vector/Wikipedia-userstyle-dark-minimum. An alternative skin to Vector exists that allows you to install as a separate skin at Skin:DarkVector.

Note all of these are supported by third parties, not the Wikimedia Foundation.
