===Archived === "Hi Njt! I noticed the following suggestion of yours in the Dev queue of [[MEpedia:Suggested_tasks]]: <br>"Create custom Special page for tracking pages using NeedsImage template requested by User:Notjusttired" <br>I was under the impression that this page accomplishes this: [[:Category:Articles_that_need_an_image_or_photo]] <br>Am I wrong or missing something? Thanks. <br>[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 19:22, 28 March 2019 (EDT) ::Have done that now. I originally hoped to add or as a Tracking category in special pages so it's easy to find, but there's no simple way to do this. Would rather focus on other dev tasks. ::Have you got any thoughts on different skins? I added some to the Dev queue including a dark one. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 17:18, 30 March 2019 (EDT) :::BTW, I recently created a page to collate all those weird special pages together: [[MEpedia:Pages in need]] :::The idea is that there would be a link in the lefthand sidebar to this "Pages in need" page so that contributors would have quick access to all these weird special pages. I'm pretty clueless on skins, so no opinion here, but I'll try to take a look. Thanks for all your help, Njt! :::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 18:47, 30 March 2019 (EDT) :::okay, I’ve finally taken a look at skins. It looks like you are recommending TimelessDarkCSS as a light-sensitive option and Pivot as the Mobile option. Is this correct? :::Also, i note that your user page mentions “collapsible lists”. Do you know of any way to do that? That would be ideal for the Contents page... :::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 18:59, 10 April 2019 (EDT) ::::Hi Pyrrhus. Yes to the Timeless-DarkCSS for those with photophobia or preferring a dark background. ::::The '''Pivot''' skin is brilliant for mobile devices and tablets but actually looks excellent on a Desktop (in my view) - Timeless without the dark CSS is a serif font I seem to remember and also looks good on mobiles, tablets and desktops. The norm is to default to Vector for wikis but Vector is really hard work on small screens because you can't hide the side menu - either you zoom and scroll a lot or need the most amazing vision. ::::Assuming these get installed and work as well as expected it should be nice to have a button to flip to the dark skin for those '''not logged in '''. I haven't seen the code to do this yet though. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 16:44, 11 April 2019 (EDT) :::::okay, here’s what it looks like we should do: :::::#Install Timeless-DarkCSS and Pivot skins :::::#Put two links in the lefthand/top sidebar: “Light-sensitive interface” and “Mobile-friendly interface”. These links will bring up instructions for how to switch skins in the user’s Preferences. When we find the code for a not-logged-in-user button, we’ll replace the links with buttons. :::::#If the Pivot interface turns out to be as good as you say, we should talk about making Pivot the default interface for all devices. :::::Does that look right? :::::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 17:25, 11 April 2019 (EDT) ::::::Yes, that's right, although I think calling it "dark view" or "dark version" would be better. Dark timeless is simply a skin called Timeless with extra CSS, Timeless has almost the same features as Pivot so it might be a case of seeing whether Timeless in white is more popular than Pivot - I prefer Pivot myself. There's 2 different ways to automatically switch skins for mobile users [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Simple_mobile_skin_auto_change/en&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop Method 1] and [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend Mobile Frontend method] which would allow desktop users to stay on Vector automatically. If you want to checkout hope they look on different screen sizes then [https://quirktools.com/screenfly/ Screenfly] is pretty good [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 18:50, 11 April 2019 (EDT) "
