I'm not sure, if an overall new skin is a really good idea. In my opinion, Wikipedia (and other wmf wikis) needs the experienced users, as well as "the person who think, that Wikipedia is written by paid people". While the first group could maybe handle a complete new skin, i'm sure, that all others will be very confused, which is not the goal, i think.
Vector itself doesn't look "so old" in my opinion and with the MediaWiki skin in OOUI it's possible to built a modern UI which perfectly fits into Vector. While I like new designs, i don't think, that we need a new skin to replace vector (but that's only my opinion) Gesendet mit meinem HTC ----- Nachricht beantworten ----- Von: "Ricordisamoa" <[email protected]> An: <[email protected]> Betreff: [Wikitech-l] Question: Should wikimedia wikis such as wikipedia be updated with a user frendly desgn Datum: Mi., Sep. 9, 2015 15:57 There is some work about getting the mobile skin on desktop (T71366 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71366>), and Blueprint <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Blueprint> powers the Living Style Guide. However, no matter how ancient Vector may look, the little updates it has received over the years make me think it isn't that bad for those who use it.
