Re: MediaWiki 1.38 (that eventually will be upgraded on Directory) comes the Vector 2022 desktop skin

[Panos Alevropoulos]

I was wondering if we should use Vector 2022, but I don't think so. It's mostly designed to work seamlessly with the VisualEditor, which we don't use (and probably never will). It's also unknown how Vector 2022 would look like with Semantic MediaWiki.

The upcoming FSD theme is based on Timeless.
