As far as I know, the big features are only in Vector, but core styles have also received a few tweaks. Yep that's right. They are also feature flagged. There are also some in MediaWiki:Print.css Most of the styles in Vector could be applied to all skins if that's useful provided they can be overridden (via getDefaultModules ) but that's not a priority right now whole we get these tested and easily done later on. Minerva doesn't need these styles for instance. An optional core module might be good here - like the external links one, the ones with all the content object styles, etc. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/message:print+(project:mediawiki/core+OR+project:mediawiki/skins/Vector)+is:merged -- Matma Rex ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[Wikitech-l] CREDIT showcase - replacing with smaller demos
Hello - I'm writing today to let you know that we're cancelling the recurring CREDIT showcase (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase). Turnout has been relatively low for a while, and it requires a fair amount of setup each month. Going forward, we'll return to the previous approach, which was having individual teams sharing demo videos on their own. Please be on the lookout for such demos along the way on wikitech-l. In closing, I'd like to thank everyone who's participated in CREDIT in the past. I've appreciated all of the hard work that goes into planning these events and the neat things you've all shared along the way. Thank you. -Adam ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
