Description

Hello people, Wikimedia Foundation got rid of the arrows in May 2014 and I would really like to see that come back. Thank you.

TheMetalHead1999 raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.

TheMetalHead1999 updated the task description. (Show Details)

TheMetalHead1999 set Security to None.

Info: Previously removed in (MediaWiki 1.24-Release) T41035 because of performance purposes.

English wikipedia has them available as a Gadget atm

You want the sidebar sections in Vector to be collapsed again? Why?

No rationale provided, hence not going to happen. See the mentioned bug and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24#Performance .

Because I don't want to see the languages available on every article. I want Wikimedia staff to undo this.

Well, why don't want to see the languages? Which actual problem do the displayed languages create when you try to use e.g. Wikipedia?

FYI there is also the "compact language links" beta feature.
