So I've asked in the MediaWiki discord about the darkmode extension and any possible way to fix it, and they claim there's changes that'll only work from MW 1.42 onwards, which isn't a stable release yet... should've expected this given the extension is in a beta state
So for now our best option seems to be to change what extension we use for the dark mode. I've found one that isn't in beta and is far more flexible, this one:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ThemeToggle
It also lets us set the default theme to be dark mode like you wanted! So if you could remove the old darkmode extension and install this one, it would be greatly appreciated and should solve the issues
Alternatively we can have no toggle at all and just make the default theme be dark mode
