| ==== Skins ==== | ==== Skins ==== |
| | Mediawiki skins are way too complicated, I think I've given up on ever creating one. The best option seems to be creating //themes//, which are used to modify //skins//. |
| | |
| | Looking for Mediawiki skins is annoying! MediaWiki's wiki has [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:All_skins a section that collects some together]], but there's no gallery of screenshots. |

| | === Notes === |
| | |
| | With a bias towards finding a new skin for [[project:game_making_tools]]'s wiki. Looking for something with a narrower reading area((default skins expand to fill width of the browser window, and are fiddlier than they should be to fix)), produces nice markup, and uses ''grid''. |
| | |
| | * [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Timeless|Timeless]] - I like that the search input in prominent, responsive, already included with MediaWiki (have to activate), narrower content section, I have themed this in the past.\\ NB: [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Timeless-DarkCSS|Dark version]] |
| | * [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:PureCss|PureCSS]] - I thought the name was appealing :) but it's actually some Yahoo framework. Still, the skin's code is easy to read, so might be a good starting point for developing a custom skin. |
| | * [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Nimbus|Nimbus]] - Similar to the default, but a bit nicer. |
| | * [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Nostalgia|Nostalgia]] - Like earlier wiki engines. |
| | * [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Pivot|Pivot]] - Could be a good base for themeing. |

| | * [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Tweeki|Tweeki]] - Bootstrap. |
| | * [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Medik|Medik]] - `` |
