I took the liberty of copying over your MediaWiki page to meta. It is now global so if your user page does not exist locally it will not be a redlink. If this was inappropriate I apologize. It is just strange to see a (WMF) tagged account as a redlink. --Majora (talk) 02:01, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Volker, and thank you for dark-mode.js, it's really helpful. The only thing is that it has no option for localization, so I had to copy it in fa:User:Ahmad252/scripts/dark-mode.js only to translate "Dark mode" into Persian. Is it possible to change the code in a way that we can use it globally (= in a way that we can manually set the translation or something like that), instead of copying it in each wiki? Thanks. Ahmadtalk21:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for response. That would be another good method to solve the problem. Maybe and would be good for this (although I personally prefer a toggle switch like ). Ahmadtalk11:43, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I tried to use it in other wikis (Wikimedia Commons to be precise). But I am seeing just another logo of Commons and this script is not working. Masum Reza📞20:25, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I mean if I install it, I see two Commons logos and the page never becomes dark! It is working here though. Maybe it's because you are using a deprecated method to import stylesheets. Could you migrate to mw.loader.load? Masum Reza📞00:54, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Volker, thanks for creating dark-mode.js. Is it possible to change the dark mode background from #000000 to #121212? I prefer a dark gray rather than complete black. • in vivo veritas • 04:55, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
About dark mode
Hello Volker E., Thank you and the dark mode team! Here i want to tell you about replacing .vectorTabs with .vector-menu-tabs selector according to meta:Tech/News/2020/26. And did you notice that when you refresh a page, the Wikipedia logo becomes double? However, please ignore all other projects and work on Dark Mode. This is priority! Thanks! ⇒ AramTalk12:31, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Aram, I've updated the CSS to reflect recent Vector changes! Wikipedia logo needs to be duplicated otherwise we can't deal appropriately with the readability of it. It shouldn't affect performance as it's just pointing to the same image file, which is already cached when called. Volker E. (WMF) (talk) 19:27, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MikeTango: Thanks for flagging. It might be possible to catch this specfic use case with a CSS selector like a[href*='wiki/%F0%9F%87%BF%F0%9F'], not sure about all instances of unicode though at the moment and this also limits their occurrence handling to link hrefs only. –Volker E.

Dark mode
Hey Volker! I'm an interface admin at SqWiki/Quote. I recently imported your dark mode gadget and it works nicely. I was wondering if it could be possible to maybe have it be enabled periodically following the device's time. Like, for example, it gets dark after 8 PM with the local time. Could that be a future functionality to be expected? - Klein Muçi (talk) 09:37, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'd propose to help for such a functionality. Possibly starting with writing a Phabricator task. Currently the focus is, besides my main work at day, to somewhen in the close future get this gadget out to a few more test wikis and even out more errors like topic above. So the priority for such functionality from my point of view is low at the moment. Hope you understand –Volker E. (WMF) (talk) 01:50, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah , don't worry. I was mostly just curious to know how you felt about that idea in general and if it could be done in theory. Take your time and thanks for the tool! :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 07:33, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
About Dark Mode Emojis
Hello, I'm Whitetiger0423(just call me whitetiger) who contribute on kowiki. When I use dark mode, I could see that emojis(like 😁 or 🕊 or..etc.) are color-reversed(ko: 색반전의)(I'm not good at Eng, so if you can't understand what I'm saying, please use interpreter). If it is possible, can you made the emojis non-reversed(색반전이 되지 않게)? --Whitetiger0423 (talk) 08:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Whitetiger0423, thanks for your message. I'm sorry to say, but emojis are not marked up in any special way (you could right click and choose “Inspect” in your browser, that they are just part of Unicode and similar to textual content, so they are inverted by my script and there's no workaround I can think of within current technical limitations. – Volker E.

c-librsvg 2.40 is deprecited since 2017 still used by Wikimedia even though it got replaced by rust-librsvg 2.42 in January 2018 (~5years ago). SVGo 3.0 (differently to librsvg) is not important for Wikiversum and got just released End of October (~2Month).
