Thread:Project:Support desk/How to incorporate existing skin into new page

Hi,

I have created my own php file and placed it in the mediawiki directory. This file has a simple form and it does some external database updates and lookup. The file is called when you click on a link i put in the wiki page.

I would like to know how i can make my custom page look like the rest of the mediawiki pages. I want to call the skin but don't know how to call it from the php file i created.

Any help would be appreciated.

i am using Mediawiki 1.20.0

Thanks,
