In Urdu Wikipedia I find this problem that the items under the "Read" drop box such as tagging and nominating for deletion constantly being displayed.
Similar thing is noticed for user contributions.

Hi @hindustanilanguage, thanks for taking the time to report this! Please always follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and provide clear and complete steps to reproduce.
I went to https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981ء and I don't see anything like that in Firefox 77.
I could only see this problem after I enabled the Twinkle gadget on https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/خاص:ترجیحات#mw-prefsection-gadgets
Hence the problem here is code in a local gadget (Twinkle).
You can see which pages on your wiki are used by the Twinkle code at https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/میڈیاویکی:Gadgets-definition
On-wiki content like user scripts, gadgets, templates, custom CSS are local features and managed independently on each wiki.
Phabricator is mostly used for MediaWiki, MediaWiki extensions, or server configuration, or by developers and teams to organize what they plan to work on. Phabricator is not a place to ask for help with your own local code.
If you are looking for help with your own code, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Ask_your_technical_questions instead
This needs fixing on the local wiki. Hence I am closing this task here.
The problem might come from some recent changes which were announced in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2020/25 :
The selectors .menu and .vectorMenu will no longer work in the Vector skin. This can affect gadgets and user scripts. .menu should be replaced by ul. .vectorMenu should be replaced by .vector-menu.
...and see also https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2020/21 :
Some CSS for the skins has been simplified. This affects div#p-personal, div#p-navigation, div#p-interaction, div#p-tb, div#p-lang, div#p-namespaces, div#p-variants and div#footer. They will have to remove div. You will have to update your gadgets, scripts or user styles. This is so we can use HTML5.
Some CSS for the Vector skin has been changed. This affects #p-variants, #p-namespaces, #p-personal, #p-views and #p-cactions. They can no longer use > ul. You might need to update your gadgets, scripts or user styles. See how.

Please fix these broken gadgets - thanks!
For the records, there are many many broken gadgets on Urdu Wikipedia. Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Locating_broken_scripts
Here is the output of https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981ء?debug=true in Firefox 77:
Please fix these broken gadgets - thanks!

For anyone who will have to fix this: In my understanding, this is basically T255718: Gadgets using vectorTabs class require update to use vector-menu-tabs class (due to T254797: .menu, .vectorMenu and .vectorTabs selectors will no longer be supported in gadgets and user styles/scripts).

provide clear and complete steps to reproduce.
You need to log in, and have Twinkle enabled, I think. See a page that is not fully protected. I encountered a similar issue on Bengali Wikipedia yesterday

Please see the comments which I added above: You will need to fix this in the local code on your wikis.
No further "The same happens on our wiki" comments needed here. :)

Hello @Aklapper , One gadget is the cause of this problems in Urdu Wikipedia Gadget-dropdown-menus
According to T254797 many CSS selectors that will no longer be supported in gadgets, so this 4 pages is used in the gadget must be updated:
- https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/میڈیاویکی:Gadget-dropdown-menus.js
- https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/میڈیاویکی:Gadget-dropdown-menus.css
- https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/میڈیاویکی:Gadget-dropdown-menus-vector.js
- https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/میڈیاویکی:Gadget-dropdown-menus-nonvector.js

@Omar_Ghrida: Please read my comment in T255781#6235155. Gadgets are local on-wiki content.
If nobody maintains the code of some local gadgets on Urdu Wikipedia, then maybe you should consider removing some gadgets instead, or start maintaining them.

@Omar_Ghrida When checking the list of active Interface Admins, you can contact Obaid Raza as well as Yethrosh for making changes. Both of them are active. Please try putting a request in both of their talk pages. Yethrosh has actually commented the code related to Twinkle in MediaWiki gadget definition page.

Thank you @Aklapper for information, I only saw this task could be closed as resolved and also to clarify the cause of the problem that appears in the screenshots (not CSS of Twinkle gadget because the problem still exists despite the deletion of the gadget).
@Adithyak1997 I have asked MusikAnimal to fix the gadget because he can maintain the gadgets globally, but Interface administrators in the local wiki can fix it. thank you for your comment.

I was unable to migrate uk.wikipedia to the new MoreMenu because of missing translations. Please review them here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MoreMenu/Migration#ur.wikipedia. I asked User:Obaid_Raza about this six months ago. After I am given the translations I can deploy the gadget for you :)

Keeping open for now as it is an active issue on multiple issues and will be easier to find for new reporters that way.
