Thread:Extension talk:Vector/Problem with tab names./reply (5)

Hi guys,

I had the same problem and I could solve it:

The vector skin from 1.16.x is not compatible with MediaWiki 1.17. There e.g. are breaking changes inside the file skins/Vector.php, which is why you do no longer see the right tab names (but something like &lt;vector-namespace-special&gt; instead.

Do the following: Remove the folder skins/vector/ and the file skins/Vector.php and replace them by the version which comes with your MediaWiki 1.17 package. After that the skin should be working correctly again.

Things are more tricky if you (like me) have created a custom skin based on vector, which now shows these errors. I think in that case the only solution is to compare the old and the new version of vector and to adjust your skin by hand. :-(
