Restore amethyst folder on skins-1.5
Closed, DeclinedPublic
Actions

Description

skins-1.5 used to contain an amethyst folder, for a really old skin

However, its images were used by a quite common gadget
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:Axxgreazz/monobook-full.css

And thus many people have references to it on its CSS http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=amethyst+axxgreazz&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&ns9=1&ns12=1&ns100=1&title=Especial%3ABuscar&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search

So please restore that folder.
Last version on svn seems to be http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_5_RC1/phase3/skins/amethyst/

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

Suggest WONTFIX, the Amethyst skin shouldn't be coming back. Instead, the gadget should pick new images.

I'm not suggesting to resurrect amethyst skin (I didn't even know about it!). Just to restore those files (originally from amethyst, but stayed for years after amethyst removal), since they were used.

Well here's the directory in SVN prior to it being deleted[0] but the files seem to have disappeared from the repo. The images came from [1] though, maybe they can be obtained from there?

Marking as WONTFIX per comment 1. The images will have to be obtained from the source.

Restored the images in r65562.
PNG is a sturdy format :)

Are the images still needed? surely by now this can be WONTFIX?

Actually i'm going to WONTFIX this, if the images are still needed they can be grabbed from SVN and uploaded locally to commons (or the individual project).
