Skinning MediaWiki
From charlesreid1
General Information
The basic idea behind skinning MediaWiki is to create PHP/HTML code that will serve as a header and footer for your wiki. You can imagine the page being split into several pieces:
| Page Head and Title | This is defined by MediaWiki
<html> <head> ... </head> <body> |
| Page Body: Body Header | This is defined by your skin |
| Page Body: Wiki Page Content | This is defined by MediaWiki (and inserted/abstracted by your skin) |
| Page Body: Body Footer | This is defined by your skin |
| Page End | This is defined by MediaWiki
</body> </html> |
