===Easy switching skins===
After I switched to the 2022 skin, I noticed a new link "Switch to old look" in the left margin, right below the "donate" link. But in the legacy (current) skin there is no corresponding "Switch to new look" link. Why not? [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 05:21, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] that is a temporary link designed to help anyone that is all of a sudden lost in the change to get back to being able to get around again. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 11:40, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
::I understand that, but the purpose of the "Switch to new look" link is to give readers a heads up that the change is coming so that they can check it out if they opt to. Then hopefully feedback on the changes is given in a manageable trickle so that things can be fixed before a hard change is made that causes an angry mob reaction. Not everyone is as tuned into this as you are; the only way I've become aware of this is from seeing the change in the French and other foreign-language versions. Not everyone is a power-user like me who reads foreign language wikis using Google Translate.
::Will the French 2022 skin and the English 2022 skin be the same width, or is the English 2022 skin wider than the French 2022 skin? – [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 15:05, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] by default all of the vector-2022 skinned sites will have a similar look and feel. We have a opt-in gadget available if you want vector-2022 but in wide mode (mostly for wide screen desktop monitor users); it is still getting some improvements. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 16:01, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
::::It looks [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=vector-2022&withgadget=wide-vector-2022 like this]. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 16:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
:::::Wide vector-2022 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_(Meghan_Trainor_song)?useskin=vector-2022&withgadget=wide-vector-2022 on a page with a TOC] , there is work pending on a collapsible TOC for vector-2022 overall still. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 16:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
::::::And for users like me, will it be easy to use the version suitable for a large monitor on my PC and the other on my iPad. [[User:Doug Weller|<span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span>]] [[User talk:Doug Weller|talk]] 17:20, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
:::::::If it became popular, a toggle such as "dark mode" toggle could possibly be built. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 17:02, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

:This is a great question, @[[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]]. When we made the decision to put this link into the sidebar, the project was on an early stage. Now I think we could revisit this and put an equivalent link into the legacy Vector sidebar.

::+1 this both for easy toggling as expressed in the Phab task, but more importantly as a pre-release promotion per [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]].
