Topic on Skin talk:Minerva Neue

I have noticed two distinct versions of Minerva(Neue) on various MediaWiki instances on the Internet:

The superior variant has an article/discussion tab on the top and watch/history/contributions/edit/options top shortcut (the third only on user pages).

The menial variant only has the editing pen and a link to the discussion page above the green bar at the bottom that links to the page history.

Sometimes, it is the latter only when viewed using desktop front end (with useskin=minerva) while the former when viewed using the mobile front end.

One can know which front end is being viewed by the design of article message boxes and the missing view count at the bottom.

Probably you're talking about the features added by Advanced mobile contributions project. You can see more details on the project page.

All these features are configurable. In desktop Minerva they are enabled by default. In mobile many of them are off by default. Please explore the configuration options to find what you need for your wiki.
