In fact it only affects English Wikipedia. In other language versions that did not adopt the change (such as Spanish Wikipedia) it is still seen normally.

Currently there is this proposal to see if they go back to the previous skin (at the time of writing this comment, the results are 128 in favor, 79 opposed and 8 neutral) but if an urgent patch is needed and/or if in the end they stay with Vector 2022, you can continue parsing the content in this way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_article?useskin=vector which helps to maintain compatibility, although instead of vector you can also use monobook, timeless or minerva (see this for more information about the skins).

I notice you can use the useskin parameter on Wikiless to make it work with vector. Why not make Wikiless work regardless of which skin is used? I personally prefer monobook and will write a personal script to automatically add useskin=vector.

This issue is still present on my end, on Greek and English language so far.

I think its fixed now

liam-h commented 1 year ago

It is not in fact fixed in English, you still need to add the useskin parameter in orde to get it to render right.

I have an update on this. On my private instance I am still using version 0.1.0 instead of the latest 0.1.1. When I used the utils.js with @Metastem's changes, wikipedia displays perfectly fine. Perhaps version 0.1.0 should be used as a basis moving forward, at least so long as the new vector interface is the default. image

@Metastem close this

Hey, sorry that i got back late. Those instances are lazy and are not updating frequently. The source code and many others with up to date wikiless is fixed! Make sure to choose the right up to date one like the official: https://wikiless.whateveritworks.org

Thanks for the status update! The original instance's domain looked cool, but it's fine..
