In Doxygen 1.9.7, the URL generation logic changed such that input files in directories (i.e. /docs/Hooks.md) are published with the slug `md_docs_2Hooks.html` instead of `md_docs_Hooks.html`. This was done to improve an edge case where if two conflicting files existed (e.g. docs_Foo.md and docs/Foo.md) both can now get their own stable URL in a determimistic way (e.g. as opposed to a-z sorting and appending _2 only if a conflict exists). But this made other more common URLs no longer stable. Work around this by setting an explict permalink for each markdown file. Ref https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/issues/10721.

## Core Skins
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki includes four core skins:
|
|
|
|
* Vector: The default skin. Introduced in the 1.16 release (2010), it has been
|
|
set as the default in MediaWiki since the 1.17 release (2011), replacing
|
|
Monobook.
|
|
* Monobook: Named after the black-and-white photo of a book in the page
|
|
background. Introduced in the 2004 release of 1.3, it had been the
|
|
default skin since then, before being replaced by Vector.
|
|
* Modern: An attractive blue/grey theme with sidebar and top bar. Derived from
|
|
Monobook.
|
|
* Cologne Blue: A lightweight skin with minimal formatting. The oldest of the
|
|
currently bundled skins, largely rewritten in 2012 while keeping its
|
|
appearance.
|
|
|
|
### Legacy core skins
|
|
|
|
Several legacy skins were removed in the 1.22 release, as the burden of
|
|
supporting them became too heavy to bear. Those were:
|
|
|
|
* Standard (a.k.a. Classic): The old default skin written by Lee Crocker during
|
|
the phase 3 rewrite, in 2002.
|
|
* Nostalgia: A skin which looks like Wikipedia did in its first year (2001).
|
|
This skin is now used for the old Wikipedia snapshot at
|
|
https://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/
|
|
* Chick: A lightweight Monobook skin with no sidebar. The sidebar links were
|
|
given at the bottom of the page instead.
|
|
* Simple: A lightweight skin with a simple white-background sidebar and no top
|
|
bar.
|
|
* MySkin: Essentially Monobook without the CSS. The idea was that it could be
|
|
customised using user-specific or site-wide CSS (see below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Custom CSS/JS
|
|
|
|
It is possible to customise the site CSS and JavaScript without editing any
|
|
server-side source files. This is done by editing some pages on the wiki:
|
|
|
|
* `MediaWiki:Common.css` for skin-independent CSS
|
|
* `MediaWiki:Common.js` for skin-independent JavaScript
|
|
* `MediaWiki:Vector.css`, `MediaWiki:Monobook.css`, etc. for skin-dependent CSS
|
|
* `MediaWiki:Vector.js`, `MediaWiki:Monobook.js`, etc. for skin-dependent
|
|
JavaScript
|
|
|
|
These can also be customised on a per-user basis, by editing
|
|
`User:<name>/vector.css`, `User:<name>/vector.js`, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Custom skins
|
|
|
|
Several custom skins are available as of 2019. List of all skins is available at
|
|
[MediaWiki.org](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Category:All_skins).
|
|
|
|
Installing a skin requires adding its files in a subdirectory under `skins/` and
|
|
adding an appropriate `wfLoadSkin` line to `LocalSettings.php`, similarly to
|
|
how extensions are installed.
|
|
|
|
You can then make that skin the default by adding:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$wgDefaultSkin = '<name>';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or disable it entirely by removing the `wfLoadSkin` line. (User settings will
|
|
not be lost if it's reenabled later.)
|
|
|
|
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning for more information on
|
|
writing new skins.
|
|
|
|
### Legacy custom skins
|
|
|
|
Until MediaWiki 1.25 it used to be possible to just put a `<name>.php` file in
|
|
MediaWiki's `skins/` directory, which would be loaded and expected to contain
|
|
the `Skin<name>` class. This way has always been discouraged because of its
|
|
limitations (inability to add localisation messages, ResourceLoader modules,
|
|
etc.) and awkwardness in managing such skins. For information on migrating skins
|
|
using this old method, see
|
|
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery.
