--- Comment #12 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> 2012-10-22 21:26:26 UTC --- (In reply to comment #7) > * In the default views of Vector and Monobook, tabs are not obscured This isn't strictly true. Depending on the browser window width, the tabs can be obscured (cf. attachment 11212). Earlier today I was working on the English Wikipedia and I saved an edit and quickly tried to click to the "talk" tab, but it was obscured for a second or two by this notification. (In reply to comment #9) > I'm getting a bit tired about things like this being dismissed, and if even I > get tired about it, then I can't imagine how the community feels. Generally, the MediaWiki skins system is so terrible and broken that we haven't really hit many issues because we kind of assume that any skin available in Special:Preferences is supported, when that's not really the case. I think right now we (somewhat frequently) get hit by the issue of what level of support to provide users who have non-standard (non-default) setups. In the case of Monobook, the non-default is still a major problem because so many users continue to use Monobook. There are a few approaches to take here. One might be to say "we only support Monobook, Vector, and [whatever the next skin is]" and resolve bugs against Chick or Modern or whatever as "wontfix." Another (better) approach might be to make a sane skinning system and build in a dedicated place for messages like this into any skin. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
