I use the Modern skin — if anything doesn't look right to you, upgrade!

Amory has a very distracting family and will likely be editing erratically until the kids stop being cute.

My scripts don't work any more[edit]

Hi, you've edited my vector space recently. In the past week none of the maintenance script buttons have appeared down the right margin when I hit "edit". So my WP activity has stopped. I've reverted back to a bit over a week ago, but it still doesn't work.

I'm not technically minded.

I'm also contacting User_talk:Ladsgroup, who has also been editing there, and User:Ohconfucius, who wrote most of the composite script. Tony (talk) 07:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Tony1, you might have noticed that the changes I made were more than three years ago, so definitely weren't the reason anything changed! Those changes fixed issues at that time. I see that Ladsgroup pointed you to a page, but the real reason why, I believe, is that I believe you're using the new Vector 2022 skin. Up until now, Vector 2022 was loading scripts alongside the original Vector skin, so they shared which scripts they loaded; that changed this week. You can see a bit more at VPT. I'd suggest restoring the changes I/we made, then either changing your skin to the original Vector or copying the text to a new js page for vector-2022. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, Amory. It works now (common.js). Tony (talk) 01:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see T365107 and T365119.
In March 2024 a new addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and give feedback.
Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.
