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)

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.

Hi this is a question but shoulden Wikimedia wikis such as Wikipedia be updated with a user friendly design. Currently vector is coming out of date because now a days you see sites with bruitiful colours not old ones as they were in 2010 when vector came out. We could create another skin to replace vector as we did with monobook or update vector with a new look that has bold colours and goes along with mediawiki code and is also mobile optimised even though we have the mobilefrontend extension some users may not want to install instead hoping the skin is mobile optimised. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
