Manual:Skins

Skins allow users to customize the look and feel of MediaWiki. The default skin used on the WikiMedia projects is Monobook. A number of other skins also exist in default MediaWiki installations. Users can see which skins are available on their preferences page. To see some examples of skins that other sites using MediaWiki have created, see Sites using MediaWiki/gallery, Gallery of user styles, and Skin projects. It is important to note that optional components, such as JavaScript, only function properly on the default skin.
