[13:54:41] <strainu>	 Hey folks, I've had someone report a bunch of problems with the dark mode on rowiki. I took a look and isolated the problems, but I'm not sure if I can (should?) solve them in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] or I should raise a bug to be investigated by the web team. Is anyone here CSS-knowledgeble and willing to spend 10 min with me to help me reach a
[13:54:41] <strainu>	 conclusion?
[13:55:37] <Sohom_Datta>	 What is the bug ?
[13:56:48] <strainu>	 1. Dark links on dark background on main page https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principal%C4%83
[13:56:48] <strainu>	 The CSS that asks for that color is loaded from https://ro.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?lang=ro&modules=ext.dismissableSiteNotice.styles%7Cext.echo.styles.badge%7Cext.uls.interlanguage%7Cext.visualEditor.desktopArticleTarget.noscript%7Cext.wikimediaBadges%7Cext.wikimediamessages.styles%7Coojs-ui.styles.icons-alerts%7Cskins.vector.icons%2Cstyles%7Cskins
[13:56:49] <strainu>	 .vector.search.codex.styles&only=styles&skin=vector-2022
[13:57:28] <strainu>	 2. The sorter arrows in wikitables looks weird because the background image is repeated https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_monumentelor_istorice_din_jude%C8%9Bul_Alba
[13:57:43] <strainu>	 In light mode, there is a norepeat rule
[13:58:10] <strainu>	 CSS is loaded from https://ro.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?lang=ro&modules=ext.cite.styles%7Cext.dismissableSiteNotice.styles%7Cext.echo.styles.badge%7Cext.kartographer.style%7Cext.uls.interlanguage%7Cext.visualEditor.desktopArticleTarget.noscript%7Cext.wikimediaBadges%7Cext.wikimediamessages.styles%7Cjquery.tablesorter.styles%7Coojs-ui.styles.icons-al
[13:58:10] <strainu>	 erts%7Cskins.vector.icons%2Cstyles%7Cskins.vector.search.codex.styles%7Cwikibase.client.init&only=styles&skin=vector-2022
[14:00:03] <strainu>	 In both cases, the rule is explicitly set for dark mode, it's not a leftover from light mode
[14:04:37] <Sohom_Datta>	 Imo both should be fixed onwiki. For the first one, I would say the fix would be to not use tables for layout in the first place. 
[14:09:35] <Sohom_Datta>	 The second one goes away in safemode, indicating that it's some community loaded css or JS that is interfering here
[14:13:48] <Sohom_Datta>	 MY hunch is that for the second one https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css#L-195 is the problem. Setting the background, resets all the background flags, including the no-repeat
[14:13:53] <Sohom_Datta>	 strainu: 
[14:17:38] <strainu>	 Thanks Sohom_Datta !
[14:19:30] <strainu>	 just to confirm, you say that in https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principal%C4%83?safemode=1 the links show up OK for you?
[14:19:53] <strainu>	 for me, they still look dark gray
[14:23:06] <strainu>	 nvm, I mixed them up.
[14:24:03] <strainu>	 regarding the sorting, we have an equivalent rule for light mode: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css#L-162 Why does it work for light mode?
[17:21:55] <mutante>	 how to get "number of pages in a given category" from MediaWiki (including all the sub categories)
[17:22:36] <mutante>	 Special:Categories?from=foo only shows direct members but that is not that meaningful
[17:22:50] <mutante>	 maybe that CategoryTree extension did that?
[17:23:12] <mutante>	 API?
[18:12:56] <Platonides>	 categories are not a tree
[18:13:00] <Platonides>	 they are a graph
[18:13:13] <Platonides>	 so MediaWiki doesn't offer that
[18:13:18] <Platonides>	 only direct number of members
[18:13:45] <Platonides>	 if you want that recursive you would need to process that externally
[18:18:11] <mutante>	 Platonides: gotcha! thank you
