Template talk:Select skin

Template:Select skin is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

{{Select skin/sandbox}} has been updated to use {{flatlist}}: MinervaNeue (mobile) · MonoBook · Timeless · Vector legacy (2010) · Vector (2022) --— Gadget850 (Ed)^talk 00:36, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Usage in indented lines

Template:Select skin doesn't work very well when used with indentation. Example: Special:Permalink/948213657. Is it intended to be used inline? I've tried the following in sandbox: Special:Diff/819697970/948215532, which does fix the issue. However, it is not valid HTML. So I've replaced CSS class hlist using {{middot}}: Special:Diff/819697970/948217070. I've also added a test case. —⁠andrybak (talk) 20:03, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It uses a <div>...</div>, which is a block element, and block elements cannot be inlined. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:19, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please use Special:Permalink/948228188, which replaces <div>...</div> with <span>...</span> and CSS class hlist with {{middot}}. This would allow using {{Select skin}} inline. For example:

Done After looking at the test cases, I added a line break to preserve the line breaking that was previously provided by the div tag when |view= was used. I hope that is OK. In general, unless a display change is actively sought, the test cases page should look identical when comparing the live and sandbox cases. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vector 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

New Vector is now a new skin (named Vector 2022) rather than a switch within Vector, so the two Vector skin links need to be changed:

From	`...\|useskin=vector&useskinversion=1}} {{int:skinname-vector}}`	`...\|useskin=vector&useskinversion=2}} New {{int:skinname-vector}}`
To	`...\|useskin=vector}} {{int:skinname-vector}}`	`...\|useskin=vector-2022}} {{int:skinname-vector-2022}}`
i.e.	Vector legacy (2010)	Vector (2022)

Izno, for your information, the edit to use {{flatlist}} has broken the use-case of putting {{Select skin}} in an indented block. See Template:Select skin/testcases § Inline vs block test. —⁠andrybak (talk) 18:38, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
