Should the theme for mediawiki for this wiki be upgraded to the new nice looking theme?

Its called Vector, and also has some cool new features.

If so, where should this suggestion be posted and who can upload it?

You can set your personal skin to vector in your preferences. Personally I feel monobook complements the game itself more, so regardless of what happens, I'll stick to monobook. Try the Community portal talk page for this discussion. - Infinite - talk 15:40, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

everyone has the privilege to change their own skin in preferences, as Infinite has pointed out. I am a vector user. Venom20 20:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

i have been using vector for years now... on both wiki's the theme is vastly better then the default- Zesbeer 21:53, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for this, I have set my theme to the new one and everything looks nicer :). I think it looks more modern, and guild wars 2 is more modern so it should be set as the default theme going forward. Ill put a post in the community talk page and see what happens.-- TigerWolf 23:22, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I was actually thinking about this exact thing just the other day. Vector should definitely be made the default skin. It's been default on wikipedia for quite a while now so it's most likely what visitors are most familiar with. It also looks and feels more modern, and I feel it represents GW2's art style more than monobook. — Rhoot 01:05, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

I am currently using a custom theme that I found someone using - check it out at User:Alfa-R/vector.css and add it to your custom vector css. -- TigerWolf 07:12, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

-chuckles- That is actually the design we're working on to push live on all of the wiki. We are discussing it on this page; Talk:Main Page/editcopy. - Infinite - talk 12:26, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
