Using the infobox
Existing skin pages
If you want to add the infobox to an existing page, copy and paste the code at the top of this page.
Create a new skin page
If you want to create a new skin page, enter the name below and click the button. A new page will be created with the infobox template already in place.
Please replace "TheSkin" with your skin's name:
MediaWiki is an open-source project and users are encouraged to make any MediaWiki skins under an Open Source Initiative (OSI) approved GPLv2 compatible license (including MIT, BSD, PD). For skins that have a compatible license, you can request commit access to the MediaWiki source repository for skins.
A developer sharing their code in the code repository should expect:
- Feedback / Criticism / Code reviews
- Review and comments by other developers on things like framework use, security, efficiency and usability.
- Developer tweaking
- Other developers modifying your submission to improve or clean-up your code to meet new framework classes and methods, coding conventions and translations.
- Future versions by other developers
- New branches of your code being created by other developers as new versions of MediaWiki are released.
- Credit
- Credit for your work being preserved in future versions
- Similarly, you should credit the developers of any skins whose code you borrow from.
Any developer who is uncomfortable with any of these actions occurring should not host their code in the code repository. You are still encouraged to create a summary page for your skin on the wiki to let people know about the skin, and where to download it.
Enhancing this template
If you would like to improve on this template, thanks!
This is a complicated template so here is some help along the way:
In addition, Template:Skin/Sample stores the boiler plate that is preloaded into newly created pages and contains some basic documentation on how to fill in the template parameters.
It needs to be kept in sync with the documentation.
The Create skin button
To improve the create skin button behavior:
- Template:Skin/Sample — The boilerplate skin that is preloaded into newly-created pages.
- Template:Skin/CreateSkinInputBox — An input box that can be inserted wherever you want users to easily create skins. For documentation on the
<inputbox>
tag, please see Extension:InputBox . - Skin:TheSkin: — Defines a placeholder, in case a user accidentally hits the create button without changing the skin name.
Infobox parameters
In general:
- To make this template easy to use, each label in the infobox is linked to documentation on the template parameter(s) it displays. If you add a parameter, please be sure to also add it to the content parameter documentation and link its label to that documentation.
