Thread:Project:Support desk/I lost my MediaWiki Skin Files and How do I upgrade my MediaWiki to the newest version? (2)

Hi,

I lost my MediaWiki skin files. The person who has them, I haven't talked to in years and I doubt that they still have them on their computer. I have lost all contact to them also, is there anyway I could regain my skins files? And how do I upgrade my MediaWiki to the newest version? I'm not sure the version of my wiki (HOSTing is currently down), but it needs to be upgraded. I tried reading the Upgrading Manual, but found it very confusing. Can anyone tell me step by step? Thanks in advance for any information that is helpful. :)
