Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Features/Loading Vector 2010 scripts/en

When working on Vector 2022, we decided to ease the transition from Vector legacy (2010) for communities. To fulfill this, we didn't change how scripts worked. So Vector 2022 would:

This meant less work for the communities at the time of changing the default skin for their wikis.
 * load both  and   for sites
 * load both  and   for users

But this was temporary. In late 2023 or early 2024, Vector 2022 will not load any scripts for Vector 2010 on any wiki. Communities, interface administrators, and individual users will need to make some decisions.

It is also possible for communities to request the change to take place sooner. To do that, write on our talk page or create a new task on Phabricator, tagged, that requests the disabling of.

Examples
In late 2023 / early 2024, users will suddenly see "Behaviour after site request". This means local site styles would stop loading (if those are being relied on) and many user scripts would stop loading unexpectedly.

Communities' decisions
We recommend that communities: A community may decide to do nothing. But this will become the default behaviour. Delaying action here is likely to cause problems for users.
 * discuss this change – please decide if it's preferable for your community to change this configuration earlier than the end of the year,
 * If/When your community decides to do so:
 * notify any users it might affect, to avoid disruption or confusion,
 * use this as an opportunity to encourage housekeeping. E.g. deletion of local skin JS/CSS that is no longer used,
 * after making changes to your code, write on our talk page or create a new task on Phabricator, tagged, that requests the disabling of  . Example T332809.

Actions for interface administrators

 * CSS: Copy any necessary content from  into.
 * JavaScript: Migrate any content from  into  . (NOT duplicating it, because that can cause errors, unless you know what you are doing.)
 * General cleanup, as needed.

Actions for users

 * CSS: Copy or migrate any necessary content from  into   – OR –.
 * JavaScript: Migrate any content from  into   – OR –  . (NOT duplicating it, because that can cause errors, unless you know what you are doing.)
