Hello everyone! This is an update from the Wikimedia Foundation Web team
working on the new skin Vector 2022
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements>.
For the past few months, our focus has been on discussing deployments
across various large wikis. This includes English Wikipedia. Its community
has agreed to have Vector 2022 as the default under some conditions
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Deployment_of_Vector_(2022)#Discussion>.
We have addressed those, and now we're having a next discussion
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Vector_2022_update>
with the English Wikipedia community.
We have also been switching the skin on the majority of Wikipedias. There
are ~300 Wikipedias with the default of Vector 2022 now. Last week, the
skin became the default on Arabic and Greek Wikipedias. *We hope to get to
all the Wikipedias by the end of February 2023.*
