Manual:Gallery of user styles

This page is a showcase of MediaWiki skins. None of these skins are maintained by the MediaWiki developers; if you find an error or wish to leave feedback, contact their respective authors.

Use the form below to create a new subpage to list details for your skin. Please add your skin to the appropriate gallery afterwards.

Monobook derived skins
Styles and positioning of page elements is stored in a file called main.css. To get to this file go to skins/monobook/main.css. Editing in CSS is fairly simple, once you figure out what each color and position corresponds to. This allows you to keep the MonoBook skin as the default, which is nice because it is well written.

If you want to put in Google ads or some other JavaScript program, you can do this in Monobook.php. You can actually edit any .php file's appearance by going to main.css in the appropriate folder/directory. If you only wish to change CSS or JS, its recommended that you use the MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js pages on your wiki whenever possible, as directly editing skin files can cause problems when upgrading.
