Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
What happens?:
You can see a lot of whitespace between the Recent Activity module and the Policies and guidelines module
What should have happened instead?:
Less whitespace between modules
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Vector 2022
Monobook
Vector 2010

[mediawiki/extensions/PersonalDashboard@master] Reduce excessive vertical whitespace between dashboard modules
I've submitted a patch to reduce the excessive vertical whitespace between PersonalDashboard modules:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/PersonalDashboard/+/1224976
The fix changes the vertical spacing between stacked modules from 1rem to 0.5rem while maintaining the 1rem horizontal gutters. This applies to the desktop view when sidebars are hidden, affecting Vector 2010, Vector 2022, and MonoBook skins.
The change modifies the flexbox layout to use explicit column direction with consistent 0.5rem gaps throughout, which eliminates the excessive whitespace between "Recent Activity", "Policies and guidelines", and "Your impact" modules.

Hello,
I had a design review question around this ticket; in the figma designs for desktop, each of the modules has a fixed width:
891px for the Recent Activity module
and 445px for the secondary modules (impact/policy)
Should these widths be fixed or should they be responsive (main module takes up 75% and secondary takes up 25% for example)?
The reason I'm asking is that when the width overflows (when you have two side panels for example), and the width is fixed at 891 it would always remain at 891px causing some extra whitespace.
Example screenshots of fixed width:
Example screenshots of responsive width (can also be tested in the patch demo):
Hi @Kgraessle, thanks for spotting this. Yes you're right it should be responsive.
We can do:
