Extension:Vector

The Vector extension adds a few enhancements to the Vector skin. Note that these features are only available in Vector, not in other skins.

This extension has been migrated from Extension:UsabilityInitiative. During this migration this extension was ported to make use of ResourceLoader functionality, making it only compatible with MediaWiki 1.17+. If you are upgrading from the UsabilityInitiative (MediaWiki 1.16 compatible) version, you may need to pay attention to the change in naming for configuration variables. See README for an example.
