wikipedia-dark

  1. Create an account (all usernames start with capital letter)
  2. go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering
  3. Click on "Custom CSS" next to Vector theme area
  4. In this repo copy the dark css file. If on macOS run below command to do that easily cat vector_dark.css | pbcopy
  5. Paste theme into wikipedia & save

Notes

  • instructions based on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Vector-DarkCSS
  • theme is not perfect, its a few years old and was designed for more generic wiki -- wikipedia has been updated, need to update theme but cannot find original LESS source code for theme
