Skin:Vector/sv

Vector is a skin for MediaWiki which became default in 2010.

In recent years the skin underwent a number of changes, e.g. the switch to and the addition of new features. The latter are controllable by feature switches so that users can still be served to legacy layout.

In 2021, as part of the MediaWiki 1.36-1.38 releases it will see incremental updates as part of the work done by the initiative. At the end of the project, the 2010 version and 2021 versions will be split into two separate skins.

Setting the default skin to Vector
A default skin should be set for new users of a wiki by setting the variable in   to the lowercase skin name specified in the skin file:

wgVectorUseIconWatch
Watch and unwatch as an icon rather than a link.


 * Supported Values:
 * — use an icon watch/unwatch button
 * — use watch/unwatch text link

wgVectorResponsive (< 1.36)
Experimental setting to make Vector a responsive skin that adapts to mobile phones. Not actively being tested or used in production (yet) but relatively stable and false by default.


 * Supported Values:
 * — Use responsiveness to improve usability in narrow viewports
 * — No responsiveness

Note as of 1.36 this experimental feature flag no longer works in the default Vector skin. Those looking for a responsive Vector skin can use at their own risk.

wgVectorPrintLogo (< 1.36, removed in 1.36)
Logo used in print styles. Keys are,  ,   (in pixels). 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. 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.

In 1.36, please use

Smartphone and tablet design

History of the skin
Vector became default skin in 2010, succeeding MonoBook. It had been created in 2009 as part of the work done by the. 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/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.
