Topic on Talk:Compatibility

I was having a hard time interpreting the charts, because of the Vector 22 default skin with Preferences > Appearance > Skin preferences > Enable limited width mode toggled 'on' (also default). I'm on a desktop PC using Waterfox, but Chrome yields the same result as an anonymous user.

The version numbering is right aligned, and the blue bars look blank if this setting is not toggled 'off'.

Probably the simplest fix would be to modify Template:Compatibility PHP and Template:Compatibility DB (or possibly Template:Version history) to conform to the limited threshold.

See also {{Compatibility core tables}}.

{{Version history}} already has a parameter called "order." Would "order=descending" be helpful for resolving this?

 Done by adding order=descending

We could also potentially change the overflow: auto into overflow: visible (or remove it entirely?) which lets the table break out of the limited width?

(I might be overlooking some drawbacks of doing that? But by default, wide tables can overflow on large screens, e.g. w:List of 32X games, which I advocated for and really appreciate about Vector2022 supporting! Especially on pages like this, as multiple horizontal scrollbars on a single page are an accessibility anti-pattern.) Hope that helps.

By changing overflow: auto to overflow: visible in {{Compatibility core tables }}, the right sidebar becomes invisible. Is that okay?

Personally, I think it's probably fine, because the Tools menu can easily be toggled to 'collapsed', briefly, if it ever presents a problem to anyone. (And because accessible access to the page-content is the priority)

I don't like the backwards chart, but I guess RRDTool has a strong influence.
