MediaWiki can be customized in several ways. It is distributed as GPL. You may thus contribute your own skins, extensions and patches.
Configuration
- Configuration parameters may be easily defined in a LocalSettings.php file.
- Interface messages can be modified in the wiki.
- Extensions and patches are provided by the community, some of which are available here. They generally fall into one of these categories:
- Extensions defining a new wiki tag (see also: Write your own MediaWiki extension)
- Extensions defining a new special page (see also: Writing a new special page)
- MediaWiki is multilingual, and fully so with the Translate extension.
- The FAQ contains a lot of useful customization info.
Skins
Just one example of an original skin (Refreshed)
Look and feel can be modified by using different skins. There are various third-party skins, which allow radically changing the look and feel of the site.
