Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

I've been using your DarkMode extension (thanks so much for it!) and I was curious if there was any way to exclude everything outside of #content. I know I can add the exclude class to any item to exclude it, but what about items not under our control like the site logo or header?

You can use the same fitler property to selectively un-invert elements. So to exclude the logo, for instance:

.client-dark-mode #p-logo {
  filter: invert( 1 ) hue-rotate( 180deg );
}

I'm not sure if there's a simple way to exclude everything outside of #content, unfortunately.

Hello, I made a fork of DarkMode and made it usable by logged out users, added mode preferences, added support for toggling dark mode by URL parametres, etc. If I upstreamed the commits, would you be able to review them? Thank you!

Yes of course! There's one patch already open to add a ?usedarkmode=1 URL parameter, but I'm happy to go with your implementation.

Great! Should the patches be uploaded separately or in one single patch?

Please disregard the above message. I have uploaded a patch.

Hi, I don't understand how configuration works. I've tried excluding elements or styling elements inside the skin.css, is this not how it's done? Also can the dark mode toggle be moved up to the account links area, or maybe the sidebar? It's relatively hidden at the very bottom of potentially long pages, at least on vector, idk about other skin. I would really love to use this extension on my main wiki, but I haven't been able to figure out customization or how to move the toggle yet.

@Left-Eye-125 I just pushed an update that allows you move the dark mode link. See Extension:DarkMode#Configuration for instructions. That same section should also explains what's possible as for styling elements. If you don't want something inverted, give it the .mw-no-invert CSS class. If you find yourself needing to do this a lot in wikitext, you may wish to add a template called say, Template:No-DarkMode, that simply wraps the given content with <div class="mw-no-invert">{{{1}}}</div> . You can also style individual elements. Say you wanted to un-invert an element with the CSS class .my-element. Your CSS could look like .client-dark-mode .my-element { ilter: invert( 1 ) hue-rotate( 180deg ) } which ensure .my-element is never inverted (because it gets re-inverted). Obviously, applying the .mw-no-invert class is easier, if you're able to do that. Hope this helps!

Hi there! Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to let you know that I posted a question for you over at Talk:XToolsabout the edit counter limit.

Hello. Can you fix Module:Documentation? I imported the wrong thing and I can't find a suitable version to revert to. Thank you.

Never mind fix it :) Sorry to disturb you

Still not OK. You ruined the more-or-less consistent styling of MediaWiki.org, reverted everything to English, without a single justification. I reverted it to the last consistently styled and internationalized version.

Sorry, I protected the page on Meta (from which you imported it) but I do not know much about this module beyond that. Thanks for helping out, Tacsipacsi.

Hi, I am just wondering when you will release new version of xtools and pageviews. The unreleased commits are contain many improvements in Indonesian translation, and maybe others.

Doh, sorry about that! We usually have a pretty rapid release cycle, but this time we have some major changes that are a bit risky to unleash out into the wild. I will do my best to try to get things stable and deploy sometime this week. If for whatever reason that can't happen, I'll try to deploy only the changes to the translations. Best,

Okay, noted. Thanks for the info.
