They show up and throw a thorn into skin improvements repeatedly. Perhaps after coming up with some replacements that fit the requirements of the people that actually use them. I haven't got any statistics yet on how many active users are actually using these skins.
The fact that we'd discuss a bug like that not because CologneBlue and the other legacy skins have a unique feature or layout they were created to offer and we're trying to improve it, but because CologneBlue and the other legacy skins lay out the ui in a pre-SkinTemplate era way of layout we're maintaining and trying to backport modern improvements into is a good example of why I want to get rid of them. It's like trying to backport modern features to REL1_11. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
