Is this not achieved by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Dark_mode_switch and/or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:If_dark?

@Soda Unfortunately, per my close this would be against the community consensus. There were valid points raised in opposition, and we can't ignore that. I apologise for the extra work this is going to cause, but I doubt the community consensus will change in the near future. Perhaps also clarifying that the file must also be below TOO in the country of origin is also helpful.

Whilst it should have been a wikilink, admins are busy people and might not be bothered to do the conversion. We should account for these kind of cases.

Noting the discussion was done on Commons; this was the consensus:

Thanks for the comment @Jdrewniak, there is a scenario that someone would do this:
- They just went to a page maybe by clicking a link somewhere, and see it is in light mode
- They click dark mode
- They now want to scroll down the article with the down arrow, but forgot to click back, which can happen

High priority since it's a safety risk

All issues look to be fixed.

Changing to medium; likely T371176 and making Score more usable in dark mode depend on this task.

Seems to work
Noting that the dropdown only seems to affect certain browsers - when I open https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/examine/log/11407273 on Windows it doesn't work but it works fine on Arch Linux Firefox 139.0

Of course, the source code is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/labs/tools/commons-mass-description, you can use Gerrit and submit a patch

background-color-inverted works quite well, thoughts @Izno @hzgh? background-color-base is actually the wrong colour since it's white in light mode.
Since this isn't using MediaWiki, a dark mode function would have to be implemented from scratch. This is probably quite low priority. In the meantime, you can use the dark reader extension on Firefox/Chrome.

@Jdlrobson Thank you for the statistics! Please do share the 500 random pages in article namespace so I could fix it. Could you also please check the category namespace?
Also please update https://night-mode-checker.wmcloud.org/commons/night.html as it seems to be outdated now.

@Jdlrobson I've looked through and fixed a lot of the issues. Can you rerun the script now please?
Feb 24 2025
Thank you for the additional details and help! I'll look through the top 500 pages. A lot of them do seem to be pages translated through the translate extension though.

@Jdlrobson still awaiting response

Also I don't think the metric used for Wikipedia (top 500 most read) is as appropriate for Commons, which is a file repository. Maybe change it to top 10,000 most viewed files, since they are the main component of Commons.
Hi, I'm a bit confused on what the errors are. For example, at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page it seems dark mode compatible to me, but where's the error? Can you please point me to where it is?

Thank you, I've adjusted https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:GFDL-presumed to the following information. I'll interpret "donated to Wikipedia" as GFDL.
Thank you for this investigation!
Well I don't know, it's good to check anyway since it's important for GFDL. I'm trying to import all files from Meta Wiki to Commons.

You might need to go to https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/177.193.205.164, click "IP Information" and agree to the guidelines first.
Go to https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and enable IP information.
Then go to https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dsa561dsa56&limit=500&action=history&useskin=minerva scroll to the bottom and click on the little information button. The issue described should appear.
Adding the following rule seems to fix it:

I'll work on this. Affected class is ext-discussiontools-autotopicsubpopup-image and the less file that displays the properties for that class is at modules/dt.init.less.
Oct 1 2024
Most of it should be fixed, but the jQuery calendar and project selector is not because I don't know how to fix that and I can't be asked to figure it out for such a small issue.

I'll work on this
Fixed with patch
