Description Jochen Prant 2010-07-24 15:23:27 UTC
Please set the default skin for the German wikipedia to monobook because that was decided by vote. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meinungsbilder/Standard-Skin_Vector_oder_Monobook#M.29_R.C3.BCckkehr_zum_Skin_Monobook_als_Standard
Comment 1 Maarten Dammers 2010-07-24 15:41:30 UTC
The result of the poll seems to be tied. You can hardly call that consensus.
Comment 2 Jochen Prant 2010-07-24 15:45:54 UTC
By the conditions, a tie vote means a decision for monobook.
Comment 3 Erik Moeller 2010-07-26 23:37:28 UTC
There was a thread on foundation-l where this matter was discussed prior to the vote, where I've laid out some of our (WMF's) views on this issue:

http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2010-July/059711.html

Improving the user experience of Wikipedia for new editors is a matter of continuing research, development, and conversation, and we'll continue to engage in all three of those activities. But, for the reasons outlined in the above message, we're not going to simply roll back the UI change (even if the poll had produced an actual mandate to do so rather than a tie). 

I'm not at all meaning to discount the fact that many people in the active editor community (in particular in the German Wikipedia) regard Vector as a step back. As outlined above, the primary objective of Vector is to support new users in becoming engaged in the editing process. I'm hopeful that the conversation will now shift into a more constructive framework so that we can best address the needs of different user groups.

So that's a WONTFIX.

So what does this mean?
