Keep dark mode on moving to other pages
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I sometimes use this function in other wikis; Thank you!

I think it is better that it can keep dark mode on moving to other page if dark mode has turned on. Could you implement that? I expect it is possible with cache or something.

(I requested the same thing here.)

Hi @Atmark-chan, thanks for reporting this! Please read and follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and explain what "other pages" are by providing specific and clear steps to reproduce (including links) which leave no room for interpretation. Thanks.

Hello @Aklapper and @Atmark-chan, from my understanding: I don't have information about Extension:DarkMode. But there are two scripts (User:MusikAnimal/nightpedia.js and User:Volker_E._(WMF)/dark-mode). Both scripts are created to toggle between dark mode and light mode, but will lag when you refresh the page or go to another page in dark mode. It means that for a few seconds it will be light mode and then it will return to dark mode. And that user says let's solve that lag problem. I also say that Wikimedia projects in general and Wikipedia in particular need an excellent dark mode. Thanks!

Hello @Aklapper.

Sorry, I mean "any page in the same wiki". I want it to keep dark mode on the page where I am after moving if I enabled dark mode on the page where I was before moving. Also, on reloading a page, it is nice to keep dark mode in the page.
