Just make it configurable. It's not that hard. The only thing I want to hear less about than light vs dark, tabs vs spaces, is the dripping condescension of morning people.

Make it configurable and let people be.

Wikipedia, you can solve this with one line of code. Just changing one variable name...

Seriously, the fact that light vs dark is even an issue is silly. It only exists out of laziness and that's what we should really be mad about

While I agree that it's not as complicated as some make it out to be, let's not pretend it's just one variable change.

  > let's not pretend it's just one variable change.

On Wikipedia it literally is: change 'skin-theme-clientpref-day' to 'skin-theme-clientpref-os'

I don't think you know what you're talking about. That looks like the setting you would change specifically on the Wikipedia site. There would be additional code and CSS behind the scenes to enable that functionality. For example, where is the color palette defined?

The discussion is about site owners making light/dark mode configurable. Your first reply reads like you're saying that Wikipedia has an article for how to implement configurable light/dark mode on a site. I now think maybe you just meant "Here's how to change the setting on Wikipedia, it's so easy!" which still misses the point and is not easy for most people.

Maybe if you link to the Wikipedia page you're talking about that would help. I can only find variables like the above in documentation about templates and themes. That wouldn't be helpful anywhere outside of Wikipedia.
