Skin:Vector/tl

Ang Vector ay isang skin para sa MediaWiki na naging default noong 05/13/2010 (MediaWiki 1.17, ), sinusunod ang MonoBook. Nilabas ng Wikimedia Foundation ang Vector sa lahat ng mga wiki nito noong 2010, habang ito'y ginawa noong 2009 bilang parte ng natapos na trabaho ng Wikipedia Usability Initiative. It had been created in 2009 as part of the work done by the.

Maraming mga pagbabago sa paggamit ang Vector kumpara sa predecessor nito. Ito ang kauna-unahang skin na ihiwalay ang flat level na content_actions sa nakakategoryang content_navigation.

Sa umpisa, ang pangunahing pang-andar ay nasa core skin, habang ang ilan sa mga espesyal na tampok ng Vector ay hinahawak ng isang hiwalay na extension (Extension:Vector). Tapos, sinama na ang extension sa skin. The extension has since been merged into the skin itself.

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

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

wgVectorUseIconWatch

 * Manood at mag-unwatch bilang isang icon imbis na isang link.
 * - totoo = gumamit ng isang icon na watch/unwatch na button
 * - hindi = gumamit ng watch/unwatch na tekstong link

wgVectorResponsive
Not actively being tested or used in production (yet) but relatively stable and false by default.
 * Experimental setting to make Vector slightly more responsive.
 * true = Use responsiveness to improve usability in narrow viewports
 * false = No responsiveness

wgVectorPrintLogo
Logo used in print styles. Keys are 'url', 'width', 'height' (in pixels). Note that this solution only works correctly if the image pointed to by 'url' 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.

Poor smartphone and tablet web design
Vector will work on many mobile devices (i.e. smartphones and tablets), but it is not optimized for mobile devices. The skin is already bundled with MediaWiki 1.31 and is considered a good alternative according to

Vector currently has a poor implementation of responsive web design, in which the  buttons might overlap the   buttons due to width shortage, with no fallback icons like on skin: Monobook, skin: MinervaNeue and skin: Timeless viewed on narrow displays.

In addition, the left side bar navigation links inside, as well as the top links inside  , move to the bottom of the page on narrow displays, beneath the content area, requiring the user to scroll to the bottom before being able to access it.
