Please note I7e06a4cc226f3434c0f655212a464b8b98bcc7f4 should be
merged at the same time as this patch.
== The background ==
All extensions have been weaned of BaseTemplate hooks in
Wikimedia projects.
This change now means that Vector will no longer run
any BaseTemplate hooks. See the epic T253809 for the
implementation details.
== The change ==
BaseTemplate will now have nothing to do with the rendering of
Vector. The skin version is added to express the significance of
breaking compatibility with 3rd party extensions.
We TEMPORARILY remove SkinVector to retain git blame. SkinTemplateVector will
be renamed SkinVector in the follow up (see 2/2)
Update skin.json to use SkinTemplateVector for the skin (this will be fixed
in a follow up).
The isLegacy method is moved to SkinTemplateVector.
Changes of note:
* html-debuglog is no longer needed. SkinMustache includes this information on
the skins behalf
* html-printtail and html-headelement are now not needed in the master template
and added by SkinMustache
* Skin::getAfterPortlet does not provide the `after-portlet` wrapping element provided
by BaseTemplate::getAfterPortlet so this is added
* SkinTemplate::getFooterIcons does not support the options that BaseTemplate::getFooterIcons
does so any icons which do not have an image must be manually checked for and unset
Known changes to HTML output as a result of intentionally
delegating their output to the core SkinMustache class:
* A new line is removed between the body element and #mw-page-base
* #mw-html-debug-log now appears at the end of the body element
* #printfooter is now a child of #mw-content-text rather than sibling.

- Creates a new user-preference called 'VectorSidebarVisible'
which stores the sidebar hidden/collapsed state for logged-in
users.
- Updates that user-preference on the client whenever the sidebar
is expanded or collapsed.
- Refactors the sidebar related javascript into a separate file.

Use SkinTemplateNavigation hook instead and copy the collapsible
behavior to the menu function
The code inside getSkinData that checks VectorUseIconWatch is
redundant as it duplicates checks already inside
SkinTemplate::buildContentNavigationUrls
It is enough to simplify check whether watch or unwatch is
present in the array.

de76ab5 added the config,
`$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForExistingAccounts`. Its usage in
`Hooks::onUserGetDefaultOptions()` was invoked not only for existing
accounts but anonymous users _as well._ This is a bug, due to my own
misconceptions about the hook, that went against both the config's name
and its documentation.
Unfortunately, user sessions are unavailable in
`Hooks::onUserGetDefaultOptions()` so it does not seem to be possible to
determine whether the active user is an anonymous or existing account.
This patch drops the hook and centralizes all version determination
logic in SkinVersionLookup::getVersion(). SkinVersionLookup requires a
the active User object and can make the anonymous / existing account
determination by checking login state.
The issued was identified while responding to review feedback given by
@polishdeveloper / @pmiazga in
I52d80942b4270c008d4e45050589ed9220255a50.

Sections can be nested. Using rendering/skin as the parent
means that Vector's skin preference will always come straight
after the skin preference and before Popups.
A change in core is needed to update the selector for the element which
shows/hides the subsection as well as provide a generic message key to
replace the one inside this repository.
Note: If the "Vector" specific heading is needed, we can achieve this
with a little more work but that is a conversation for another time.

Add a Vector-specific user preference to Special:Preferences for
toggling skin version, either Legacy Vector or the latest Vector.
The presentation of the new preference section and the default values
for anonymous, new, and existing accounts are configurable via
$wgVectorShowSkinPreferences, $wgVectorDefaultSkinVersion (to be used by
the feature manager in T244481),
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForExistingAccounts, and
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForNewAccounts. These configurations default
to the fullest experience so that third-party configuration is minimal.
See skin.json for details. The configurations are each tested in
VectorHooksTest.php.
When presentation is enabled, the new preference appears as a checkbox;
enabled is Legacy mode and disable is latest. There are a number of
unfortunate details:
- Showing and hiding a checkbox is supported by OOUI. Showing and hiding
a whole section (Vector skin preferences, in this case) is not so this
additional client JavaScript functionality is added in Core (see
Iaf68b238a8ac7a4fb22b9ef5d6c5a3394ee2e377).
- Stylization as a checkbox is wanted. However, the implied storage type
for OOUI checkboxes is a boolean. This is not wanted in the event that
another skin version is added (e.g., '3' or 'alpha'). As a workaround,
the preference is converted from a boolean to a version string ('1' or
'2') on save in Hooks::onPreferencesFormPreSave() and from a version
string to a checkbox enable / disable string ('1' or '0') in
onGetPreferences(). There a number of test cases to help cover these
concerning details.
Documentation for overriding the skin version as a URL query parameter
is provided in anticipation of T244481.
