After the Zebra module has been refactored to match existing styles T347638, we want to enable the Zebra module on some wikis to test for any unexpected regressions. The selected wikis should represent a broad range of use-cases and scripts.

let's talk about this tomorrow, but I propose backporting T351119 and deploying to at least one of the other wikis tomorrow
@Quiddity. Technews note (we will also be cross-posting this as a newsletter update):
We’re implementing some behind-the-scenes changes to the Vector 2022 CSS. These updates will enable future modifications, but at present, they will bring about the following changes.
As of this week, we’re planning on shipping these changes to the following WIkipedias: French, Catalan, Hebrew, Polish.
For a more detailed list of these changes, please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T347638#9298547

@ovasileva Thanks for the notes! How can we best squeeze that content down to just 1 bullet-point? (~3 sentences, 1-2 links)
Also, from this task's description and comments, I cannot tell whether the changes next week will affect just the four named Wikipedias (in which case a Tech News entry might not be efficient, and direct posts at those 4 wikis would suffice), or if any changes will be visible elsewhere?

Hey @Quiddity. So we deployed to these wikis first, but we plan on continuing with all wikis next week. In terms of a shorter summary, maybe something like:
We’re implementing some behind-the-scenes changes to the Vector 2022 CSS. These updates will enable future modifications, but at present, they will bring about changes in some of the visual styling of buttons on dropdown menus, backgrounds, and sidebar width - both left and right sidebars will not have the same width. The changes were shipped to a small set of wikis last week. If not issues are found, the deployment will proceed to all wikis this week.
Proposed Tech News draft, please edit or approve, and (optionally) add any additional link that belongs within the text:
Changes this week
- The skin Vector-2022 will have some CSS changes to enable future modifications. In the short-term this will result in some styling changes for: buttons on dropdown menus, backgrounds, and sidebar widths. These changes were added to a small set of wikis last week. If no issues are found, the changes will proceed to all wikis this week. (1)
