Hallo! [[User:foo/Monobook.css]] and [[User:foo/Monobook.js]] are part of user preferences. A new section in [[Special:Preferences]] should include these links and inform in a few words about their usage. I did run into this because I reaslised that a wiki does not use [[MediaWiki:Monobook.js]] of the content language but of the one selected in the user interface. This has many implications about viewing a page (or a Mediawiki page). What you will see with the English interface looking at http://jadesukka.homelinux.org:8180/betawiki/MediaWiki:Summary is not the same as if you select the Finnish one. Probably diffs between two pages are not supported at the moment. The new section could contain links to the relevant diffs comparing the default [[MediaWiki:Monobook.js]] with the MediaWiki:Monobook.js/<language code> and also with [[User:foo/Monobook.js]]. Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
I see a handling problem ofering links to the user before he / she has *saved* the preferenced. The links about skin ".css", ".js" user page and user talk page should apear *after* saving the preferences / creating an account but probably not after log in. See also bug 2359: "New user page - reminder of talk page"
What's the problem? If the user changes the language in preferences without saving them, two links should appear - one for the old language, one for the new language.
Marking it as a bug.
Links to the .css/.js in the skin tab added with r38587.
I've reverted r38587, r38589 for now in r38610. This clutters up the prefs UI with a lot of links which don't currently apply, most of which will never be used. It also isn't clear how it would apply to proposed non-skin-specific pages such as User:X/common.css/.js and User:X/print.css
Fixed by Aaron with r46117
Fails to check site config if user js/css are enabled; produces useless links if they're not.
