Description

Background

With the upcoming changes to the main menu and article tools, modern Vector will likely need to accommodate what is essentially a responsive 3 column layout. Our current markup/CSS relies heavily on floats and margins, and it has already been difficult to maintain with different screen sizes. Moving towards a grid system would allow us to greatly simply our CSS.

An example of what Vector's grid could look like:

headerheaderheader
sidebararticle toolscolumn
sidebarcontentcolumn
sidebarcontentcolumn
sidebarcontentcolumn
footer

AC

An unmerged patch exists that does the following:

  • Vector uses a flexbox or CSS grid based grid
  • Markup is updated to reflect new grid system, this includes moving the article tools header
  • No visual change

QA

The new grid will be enabled on a patchdemo. Take screenshots for the following:

  • Test in mobile Safari
  • Test in Chrome
  • Test in Firefox
  • Test in Edge
  • Test in Opera
  • Test in IE11

Sign off steps

  • Work out next steps for making this a reality (deployment plan).
  • Review subtasks and close/untag if they are fixed/still an issue

Remaining work

To aid with testing the remaining issues, here is a list of remaining failures when running ./pixel.js reference -c 808059 && ./pixel.js test -c 808258 :

  1. Footer misaligned fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/808310
  2. Hamburger misaligned, fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/808271
  3. Right hand side of search is misaligned on desktop breakpoint fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/808332
  4. Max-width is no longer applying fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/808293
  5. On tablet breakpoint the main menu should take up the full page is fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/808294
  6. Table of contents does not show on the desktop breakpoint fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/808294/

Once that's completely done we'll run Pixel against the new tabs position and record the changes and move this to design review.

I'll open a ticket for deploying the grid when all this is done.
