Thread:Project:Support desk/Creating a skin based on monobook./reply

Hi!

The content on Manual:Skins/Meta is as old as MediaWiki 1.6 - it is completely outdated nowadays.

Instead, Manual:Skinning/Tutorial has more current information. If I were you, I would start with a copy of the skin (monobook, vector, the one you want) and give it a name (directoy name in skins/, name of the PHP file (MySkin.php or however you call the skin). Then in this PHP file, in the upper part of the file, change the name of the skin to what you have chosen (the are some variables) and change the name of the classes inside that file. Also adjust the argument inside the addModuleStyles call. In LocalSettings.php add RessourceLoader information, basically copying the lines from resources/Resources.php, which are there for Monobook/Vector.
