Talk:Turning off outdated skins/stats

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Polishing[edit]

  • I normally use a Classic skin. But I don't see it in the statistics. I did notice however, when trying out the several skins on Meta-Wiki that I already automatically had been registered as Monobook user. Could all those powerusers (I'm certainly one of them) supposedly using Monobook in reality be using the Classic skin? That would make sense in view of the much superior readability of such fonts.--MWAK (talk) 06:42, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Classic is, I believe, an alternate name for Standard. And, no; so, preferences for skins are set on a per-wiki basis. You got the message because you're presumably using classic somewhere. Everyone registered as 'monobook' is using monobook. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:10, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. File:Power users by skin.png seems to have a funky Y axis currently. Perhaps just the labeling? --MZMcBride (talk) 03:45, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Missing an option in ggplot2, I suspect; I'll fiddle about and rerun the code. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:10, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Should now be fixed. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:57, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The label of the Y axis still seems wrong (it now maxes out at "20%" instead of "30%"), but the bars themselves seem accurate, so it's not really a big deal. Thanks for poking at this. --MZMcBride (talk) 17:26, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Classic[edit]

Nobody (apart from me) uses Classic? If it is Standard then something the main page should say so. It would also be interesting to see how the statement on how many users are affected "About 0.53% of active Wikimedia users, and about 0.39% of active users with more than 1,000 edits" is consistent with the table, as the power users figure looks as if it is over 2%.
