The SkinPerNamespace extension allows to specify a per-namespace skin that can be configured in $wgSkinPerNamespace
, but this will also override users preferences, to avoid this you can set $wgSkinPerNamespaceOverrideLoggedIn
to false
.

Configuration
[edit]You can configure this extension with the following variables:
$wgSkinPerNamespace
- array mapping namespaces index (i.e. namespaces numbers and not names) to a skin name. Use all lower case name for skin, like monobook, modern, ... otherwise it simply won't work. Example:
$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_TALK] = 'timeless'; $wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_PROJECT] = 'monobook';
- Note: You can find the constants in
includes/Defines.php
. $wgSkinPerSpecialPage
- skins for special pages, mapping canonical name (see
SpecialPage::$mList
in SpecialPage.php) to skin. This overrides$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_SPECIAL]
. Example:$wgSkinPerSpecialPage['Search'] = 'vector'; $wgSkinPerSpecialPage['Recentchanges'] = 'modern';
$wgSkinPerNamespaceOverrideLoggedIn
- if set to
true
(default value), it will also override the the skin for logged in users, to avoid this you can set it to false and$wgSkinPerNamespace
will only apply to anonymous users.
