Currently the three namespaces aren't getting dark mode and they are one of the very few places that Vector-2022's dark mode isn't enabled from software side per this, list of the pages on the namespaces:

The pages I saw on the namespaces had simply enough structure that automatic dark mode fixes applied everywhere else should fix their issues but some manual fixes from the template editors also might be needed so when I suggested to remove the exceptions I was asked to get community's feedback on whether you also want to enable the dark mode for these namespaces and as I hope we will get rid all of the namespace exceptions of the dark mode entirely someday so just visiting a page won't suddenly make the screen to have light color I wish the community also feels the same way about the change.

User:DannyS712, User:MusikAnimal, User:Pppery, User:Steinsplitter: Per https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/1072623/comments/65cd8e3e_f02769f7 I was asked to ask one of Meta's interface editors to confirm the change so do you agree with it? If we can have the dark mode enabled our only concern will be Wikidata which at least won't have community agreement issues (in addition to LiquidThread and Flow which are planned to be undeployed anyway) and full coverage dark mode namespace of Wikimedia will become a MediaWiki developers only concern. Previously I've been able to resolve issues regarding Commons's Creator: namespace, Portal: namespace of different Wikipedias and Wikisource's ProofreadPage namespaces and I'm hopeful additional namespaces of Meta can go the same path. Thanks --Ebrahimtalk 10:10, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Fine with me. I'm personally not a fan of Vector 2022 or Dark Mode but I'm willing to use my interface admin rights to resolve any problems if necessary. * Pppery * it has begun 14:46, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sounds good to me! These are not high-traffic namespaces, anyway. I see little issue in enabling dark mode everywhere. I'm available to assist with any int-admin needs as well. Just ping me. Thanks, MusikAnimal talk 20:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Pppery, MusikAnimal, it's merged now thanks to your support 🙏 --Ebrahimtalk 12:47, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi all

To the best of my understanding the correct way to report Universal Code of Conduct violations is on the noticeboard for the wiki. I would like to report several UCoC violations which happened on Meta here including people claiming I was 'trying to be offended', being 'outrageous' and that I was attempting 'voter intimidation' by highlighting what I think is pretty clear racism against a candidate in the WMF board elections process.

Thanks
