- For anyone looking for a dark skin that can be used now: download the css from mw:Skin:Vector-DarkCSS, then copy-paste into Special:MyPage/vector.css on your wiki. Note: some parts are not re-skinned. —Aron Man.🍂 hist🌾 13:18, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Related user-script - Invert
editI just found w:en:User:BrandonXLF/Invert and it's not mentioned in the wishlist discussion, so I'm mentioning here. It seems to function by adding code to your common.css each time it is toggled (I didn't make that edit manually). (ping @BrandonXLF: in case I'm mistaken, and FYI. :) Quiddity (talk) 22:04, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
No updates?
editSomehow I see the updates section still blank. Are there delays or something? George Ho (talk) 08:51, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Dark mode userscript available
editDark-mode userscript by myself, Volker E. (WMF) and other Wikimedia Foundation folks involved, is available for testing. Note, that it's not officially maintained currently! –Volker E. (WMF) (talk) 20:19, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
Why desktop first?
editDark mode is a great idea that is long overdue. I agree with just about everything here except the desktop first prioritization. More users come to wikis through mobile, and dark themes are quite popular on mobile apps. Flounder ceo (talk) 12:50, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Update response
edithttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Status_report_for_2019_wishlist#Night_Mode Interesting points. It sounds like the dark mode would place too much extra demand on the caching system. Makes sense. Flounder ceo (talk) 04:47, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
