AC

  • There is a 24px spacing between the header and page title when the site notice is empty
  • When the site notice is present there is a 24 px spacing between the header, site notice, and page title

Developer notes

The simplest solution is to removing row gap from the grid container. This impacts the spacing of the TOC in all the non collapsed cases (i.e. main menu closed, main menu open, scrolled down with sticky header, scrolled down without sticky header), so the TOC CSS should be carefully updated and QAed.

Event Timeline

when looking at this I also noticed that the height of the site header is defined as 66px, rather than using min-content as all of the other grid rows do (aside from the main content row). from the standpoint of evaluating layout issues (like this one), and just generally being able to easily understand the front-end, it seems like it would be better if we used min-content and then added padding: 8px 0 to .mw-header.

This particular bug is due to our use of row-gap and the site notice row being empty. A quick Google didn't yield any answers for me on how to avoid this, so I suspect solving this will involve removing the row gap and using margins instead.

We should backport this one once it's fixed

Next step: backporting and QA. Note backporting will also clean out the noise in https://pixel.wmcloud.org/reports/desktop/index.html.

It looks like this can't easily be backported without backporting another change. I'm getting variable @selector-main-menu-closed is undefined - do you know which patch introduces that element?

Change 825752 abandoned by Jdlrobson:

[mediawiki/skins/Vector@wmf/1.39.0-wmf.25] Remove grid row gap in favor of margins

Reason:

Can't be backported - requires another Vector patch to be backported first but I am not sure which.

@Jdlrobson Looks like it was https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/824267, was a small CSS variable clean up patch so i believe it's not as risky relatively speaking. Hoping that's the only dependency
