Skin:MonoBook/en

MonoBook is a skin. It was the previous default skin for Wikimedia Foundation websites since MediaWiki 1.3, as the replacement for the old Standard skin. It became the most popular and most widely supported skin in the MediaWiki ecosystem until it was finally superseded by the Vector skin as the default on May 13, 2010 (MediaWiki 1.17, ), as a result of the efforts of the Wikipedia Usability Initiative to improve Wikipedia user experiences and potentially draw in more contributor participation. It served as a common backup for Vector and is still present on many wikis using older versions of MediaWiki software.

MonoBook does not receive significant user experience or accessibility improvements any longer. Please use other skins like Vector instead.
