Manual:Gallery of user styles/Obsolete

The following are community-developed skins (i.e., not created by the MediaWiki core team) which were formerly listed at Manual:Gallery of user styles, but have been removed from there and placed here because they are no longer accessible, or do not work with recent versions of MediaWiki (1.23 and higher).

If you feel that a skin has been placed here in error, and belongs in the main gallery, please feel free to move it back there.

Monobook derived skins
Styles and positioning of page elements is stored in a file called main.css. To get to this file go to skins/monobook/main.css. Editing in CSS is fairly simple, once you figure out what each color and position corresponds to. This allows you to keep the MonoBook skin as the default, which is nice because it is well written.

If you want to put in Google ads or some other JavaScript program, you can do this in Monobook.php. You can actually edit any .php file's appearance by going to main.css in the appropriate folder/directory. If you only wish to change CSS or JS, its recommended that you use the MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js pages on your wiki whenever possible, as directly editing skin files can cause problems when upgrading.
