Summary


In this chapter, we discussed how to change the layout of your MediaWiki skin, as well as the possible alterations that can be made to the<head> element of the wiki's template. Thus, we have covered the following:

  • The elements of the wiki's<head> block, and their characteristics

  • The elements of the wiki's content block, and their characteristics

  • The elements of the wiki's interface, their characteristics, and the ways in which we can add additional buttons to the edit interface's toolbar

  • Creating your new skin's PHP template file, by merging the elements from an existing skin in to your skin's XHTML file
