Compatibility and notes

 * As of version 4.0.0, Cosmos supports MediaWiki 1.36.
 * Cosmos uses the Special:Statistics article count, therefore changing  and afterwards running maintenance/UpdateArticleCount.php will make that counter use all content pages.
 * Counter will not display at all if user does not have the  userright.
 * An "Admin Dashboard" icon will appear if the AdminLinks extension is enabled and you have the needed right (adminlinks).
 * Links to Special:AddVideo will appear if the Video extension is enabled and you have the needed right (addvideo).
 * Cosmos uses cookies for the sitenotice by default. If the DismissableSiteNotice extension is enabled, then Cosmos will convert to that extension instead.
 * Cosmos supports Echo notifications. If the Echo extension is enabled and the user is logged in then Cosmos will display notification icons next to the personal tools menu.
 * Cosmos has a create article method to easily create articles through a popup.
 * Will not appear if user does not have both the  and   rights.
 * When Cosmos is installed, there will be a preference that will be available upon the selection of the Cosmos skin, allowing to toggle the mobile responsiveness of Cosmos. Enabled by default.
 * Cosmos does not support the DarkMode extension, therefore removes it from the personal tools when it's enabled.
 * Cosmos supports Miraheze's ManageWiki extension. It will adhere to the  preference, and if that is on, it will display manage wiki links in the navigation.
 * Cosmos is tested and works with VisualEditor.
 * There are body classes for the main page and whether a user is logged in or not.
