README

Go to the documentation of this file.

Skins, such as the default skin Vector, are distributed separately. Drop them
into this directory and enable as per the skin's installation instructions.

You can find a list of available skins at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:All_skins>,
and more information about installing and configuring skins at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_configuration>.

If you are a developer, you might want to fetch the skin tree in another
directory and make a symbolic link:

 mediawiki/skins$ ln -s ../../skins-trunk/FooBar

The default skin Vector can be installed by cloning from Git:
    git clone https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/SVEC/Vector

Other skins are also available:
    https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/SKIN/


Please note that under POSIX systems (Linux...), parent of a symbolic path
refers to the link source, NOT to the target! You should check the env
variable MW_INSTALL_PATH in case the extension is not in the default location.

The following code snippet lets you override the default path:

 $IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );
 if( $IP === false ) {
   $IP = __DIR__ . '/../..';
 }
 require_once "$IP/maintenance/Maintenance.php"; // a MediaWiki core file
