== Vector 2022 ==
The news is that Wikipedia (en) will be switching their default desktop skin from Vector classic to Vector 2022 tomorrow, January 18, 2023. ([[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Vector 2022]])

Historically, we at Encyc have made efforts to stay as consistent as possible with Wikipedia, to make sharing articles back and forth between our two sites as seamless as possible.  However, in practice, we don't really do that all that often.  

So we have a choice:
# Continue with [[mediawikiwiki:Skin:Vector|Vector classic]], which will undoubtedly start to look a little dated
# Switch to [[mediawikiwiki:Skin:Vector/2022|Vector 2022]]
# Switch to [[mediawikiwiki:Skin:Citizen|Citizen]], a good-looking skin that automatically detects user preferences for light or dark mode and adjusts.

I am leaning towards option 3.  While trying to be consistent with Wikipedia is nice, I think it can also hold us back a bit.  With the Citizen skin, we have the opportunity make the site better-looking and more user-friendly than Wikipedia.  Whatever choice we make for the default, registered users will still be able to access all three skins via preferences. Any opinions?

:Meh. Let's welcome Vector 2022 with Encyc Vector 2022, a worldwide celebration.  It's not every year that Wikipedia gets a new skin.  Cool. [[User:Enki|Enki]] ([[User talk:Enki|talk]]) 22:37, 17 January 2023 (EST)
