Installation

1. Copy the code into a file (e.g. skype.php)
2. Save the file in the extensions directory of your MediaWiki folder
3. Add the line require_once('extensions/skype.php'); to the end of your LocalSettings.php file

Now you can use the extension with <skype>Skype-Username</skype> in the wiki
