Configuration

Global settings

You can use the following configuration variables in your "LocalSettings.php" file:

Variable	Description	Possible values	Default
Theme color
$wgMedikColor	The Medik color scheme (navbar background, underlines etc.).	CSS colors (e.g. '#ACFE00' or 'blue')	'#FFBE00'
Site logo
$wgMedikShowLogo	Show logo in the navbar or in the sidebar. By default, the logo is hidden.	'none' (default) 'main' (i.e. small logo in the main navbar) 'sidebar' (i.e. big logo in the sidebar)	'none'
$wgMedikLogoWidth	Width of the logo in the main navbar (i.e. you have to set $wgMedikShowLogo = 'main'; first).	CSS width (e.g. '210px' or '2em' etc.).	'default'
$wgMedikUseLogoWithoutText	Use only logo and hide the site name in the left upper corner of the wiki. Note that you have to set $wgMedikShowLogo to either 'main' or 'sidebar'.	false true	false
Other options
$wgMedikMobileSitename	If your wiki's name is longer than about 13 to 15 characters, you can define a shorter one only for the mobile screen. On desktop, $wgSitename will be displayed as usual.	string e.g. 'ShortWiki'	null
$wgMedikResponsive	If you need to disable the responsiveness of the skin (i.e. you don't want the skin to adjust to the screen size), set this to false.	false true	true
$wgMedikContentWidth	On large screens, the main content container (with articles, texts, etc.) is 9/12 of the screen width and sidebar menu takes 2/12 of the screen width. It means that 1/12 of the screen width on the right side remains white. This is the default. But there can be cases when you need your wiki to extend to the full width of the screen even on the large screens. Then you can use $wgMedikContentWidth variable in your "LocalSettings.php" file and set that to 'full'. Then the main content container will take 10/12 of the screen width (and 2/12 remain for the sidebar menu). If you need a narrow main content area, use 'narrow' instead. Then the main content container will take 8/12 of the screen width (and 2/12 remain for the sidebar menu on the left and 2/12 for the white space on the right). If you need a wide main content with only a narrow left sidebar, use 'wide'. Then the sidebar will be 1/12 and the main content 10/12 on large screens.	'default' 'full' 'narrow' 'wide'	'default'

User preference option

Basic font size

Every user is able to change the default font size in their user settings. It's found on page "Special:Preferences" under the skin preferences.

The wiki's default font size can be defined by adding e.g. the following line to your "LocalSettings.php":

$wgDefaultUserOptions['medik-font'] = '1.0em';

Possible values for this setting are 0.8em (80%), 0.85em(85%), 0.9em(90% - default), 0.95em (95%), 1.0em (100%), 1.05em (105%) and 1.1em (110%).
