Description

The new Vector skin has been enabled on the beta cluster for testing (To be confirmed.. I'm tired of waiting and want to finish for the day but will check this tomorrow:-)) . This will soon become the default skin for various wikis in the Desktop improvements project.

While this should not impact anything (we have migrated existing skinStyles, updated hooks and ensured existing JS should still operate as before)

This ticket serves as an invite to WMF teams and Wikimedia volunteers to test the new skin.

Please comment here with any issues you discover.

In particular regressions are likely to appear in:

features that are limited to certain skins
look differen depending on what skin you are using

Suggested QA

Login to the beta cluster
Visit Special:Preferences
Select Vector (2022)

Check that all functionality works the same
Check that all features look the same.

QA in production

When satisfied we will enable this one of our production wikis so that we can run similar tests.
We will likely use https://eu.wikipedia.org

@ovasileva, I also verified that if I created a new user from frwiki, I was opted into (or defaulted) to Vector 2022, when I navigated to enwiki with the same user I was defaulted to Vector Legacy as expected.
