User blog:Inept Wiki User/New Desktop Skin, Emergency Maintenance (01/06/2021)

As you've probably noticed, the new Desktop skin (FandomDesktop) is now at the opt-in stage and it is likely going to be switched in before long. However, now that it has reached this stage, a problem has become apparent - many of the templates and other stuff are not functioning properly on it. As such, we need to find out what isn't working properly and figure out ways to fix it, and fast.

Please describe any template malfunctions and other problems present on the wiki with the new Desktop in comments below, so they can be compiled and tackled.

Known Problems

 * Wiki Background Image - Not functioning (Placeholder functioning)
 * Wiki Logo - Not functioning (Wordmark re-uploaded)
 * Character Infoboxes
 * Header color changed
 * Header size changed
 * Front Page
 * Template: Latest Volume - Right column items shunted/cut off within frame, tabs
 * Caused by tabs forcing dimensions of wikitable to go beyond front page right column's dimensions.
 * CSS Class Problem - All css classes declared on MediaWiki:Wikia.css have seemingly been disabled. The follow templates are affected:
 * Note (02/06/2021): Partial fix through creation of MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.css‎ (need to look through, cross out and tweak notes as appropriate); remaining issues concern default padding in wikitables
 * Template:OneRow Volume
 * Template:Template:Latest Volume Block
 * Texts are hard (blue link in text) or impossible (infobox) to read in dark mode (Noted by Ollerus, recorded 03/06/2021)(modifications on hold due to light/dark mode editing issue at current stage of implementation)
 * Excess gap between the first item of a bullet-point list and the text above it, if after text.

Stuff for Checking

 * Site Settings
 * Front Page
 * Right column items shunted/cut off within frame
 * Templates
 * Infoboxes
 * Infobox colours are not blackish anymore; now match main wiki theme (now overridden by Fandomdesktop.css)
 * Image tabs - are they all on rail now rather than stacking?
 * Navboxes
 * Top-Nav
 * Images
 * Thumbnails
 * Galleries
 * Slideshows
 * Headers
 * Font (check/compare)
 * Article Text
 * Font (check/compare)
 * Banners/Horizontal Notices
 * Tables
 * Other

Other

 * Had previously discussed and drafted but not much.
 * Character Infobox Image Tabs - now on rail rather than line and stack
 * Note from Ursuul regarding light/dark mode-specific css modifications - "You will need to preface your CSS selectors with either .theme-fandomdesktop-light (to only affect light mode) or .theme-fandomdesktop-dark (to only affect dark mode). You can then select an element as normal & give it any background you desire with CSS."
