 * Prior to MediaWiki 1.18 the value was a fallback display name and the class name was determined by running ucfirst on the lowercase skin id. ie: For  it would try to load the 'SkinFoobar' class.

The default skins will be added later, by Skin::getSkinNames. Use Skin::getSkinNames as an accessor if you wish to have access to the full list.
