Could somebody help us?

OK. My skin is based on Vector.

In newest version of Mediawiki there is Vector folder with some files.

Should I also do that procedure?

Hi please download all the skins it says are having problems because mediawiki 1.23 only include vector and monobook. which means the other skins you have have not been updated. and please update your extensions for mediawiki 1.23.2.

The post by 94.197... is misleading and will not solve the problem.

The solution for these messages is to remove those skin files, which are located directly in the skins/ folder: Simple.php, Nostalgia.php, MySkin.php, Standard.php and Chick.php. The same procedure also is described at Manual:Skin_autodiscovery by linking to Manual:Upgrading#Files_remaining_that_may_cause_errors.

If you are using an own skin, then you will sooner (now) or later (when you upgrade to MediaWiki 1.25) have to update that skin as well. As long as you have not upgraded it, you will get a PHP warning concerning this skin as well (and that not only in MediaWiki 1.25, but also in 1.23 already).

Please remove Simple skin since it was removed and you cannot download it anymore. Please remove MySkin because it is no longer available to get. Please remove Standard because it is not available to download. Please Remove Chick because it is no longer available to download.Please download Nostalgia skin here https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FNostalgia and please download
