Testpage1 dark mode error

[edit]

Issue Description When opening the edit window, the box generated by m:MediaWiki:newarticletext is illegible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ToadetteEdit (talkcontribs) 07:47, 21 set 2024 (UTC)

Waiting that meta:Template:Newarticletext (transcluded in the message) is marked for translation. --ZandDev (talk) 13:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)reply
It’s now readable, but because it lost all its styling. MediaWiki messages need to be wrapped in an element with class="mw-parser-output" for TemplateStyles to work (this is automatic in the page text, but not in MediaWiki messages). It technically doesn’t matter whether this class is added in the template or directly in the MediaWiki message, but I find the latter cleaner. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)reply
@Melos: I see you’ve fixed Recentchangestext, maybe you could handle this one as well? Thanks in advance! —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)reply

Issue Description Mostly unreadable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ToadetteEdit (talkcontribs) 14:11, 28 set 2024 (UTC)

Better than before, but I think that the image at upper-left corner has to be redrawn. --ZandDev (talk) 13:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)reply

While going through the *Global Majority Wikimedia Technology Priorities* page on meta, and decided to explore the dark mode, I noticed that the background of the introduction card was remained white and quite invisible. The text could only be read when it was highlighted eugene23 (talk) 16:03, 4 November 2024 (UTC)reply

Mental health resources dark mode error

[edit]

Issue Description: this page (and likely others like it!) is completely unreadable in dark mode, showing up black text on black — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:818:d839:c00:5404:4893:5570:66f2 (talkcontribs) 20:52, 6 nov 2024 (UTC)

Translatable template dark mode error

[edit]

Issue Description: the template likely uses hardcoded colours and needs to be translated to using the current palette. JnpoJuwan (talk) 22:16, 15 December 2024 (UTC)reply

This template doesn’t use any colors: its sole purpose is to transclude other templates in the appropriate language (although this function is mostly superseded by software features by now and I’m working on removing it wherever possible). The color problems are caused by the template specified as its first parameter (the template it transcludes), so you should report that template/those templates. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:15, 16 December 2024 (UTC)reply

Steward requests/Global dark mode error

[edit]

Issue Description

Some links on the mentioned page that are under the "Requests for global (un)block" section, mainly ones that are inside boxes, are rendered in a black color, making them difficult, if not impossible to see what the text is without selecting it.

Steward_requests/Global_permissions seems to be affected as well. Not sure what other pages on that wiki are affected by this. -GeniusWorkbench4622 04:19, 15 March 2025 (UTC)reply

Gadget-Coloredlinks.css dark mode error

[edit]

Issue Description

the link color for mediawiki being black makes it impossible to read.

maybe some of the other colors i haven't seen yet are affected hy this too and could benefit of some change for dark-mode, probably using light-dark().

also affects MediaWiki:Gadget-Coloredlinks.css, and I suspect a lot of other instances where that same file may exist too.

Ptag dark mode error

[edit]

Issue Description The template does not conform to dark mode. --Michael21107 (talk) 07:55, 24 March 2026 (UTC)reply

Issue Description The text inside of the box, where the text isn't part of a link, isn't changing color to white when night mode is enabled. --↠Pine () 04:25, 1 April 2026 (UTC)reply

Issue Description

The defined background color makes some text (mostly the headers) blend in with it, making it fail the contrast check. Another issue is that some text stays the same color, so just changing the background color to black will cause different text to fail the contrast check.
