May 26

• It somehow works without too many fatals. Kinda. (gerrit:135497)
  • Added setup file.
  • Added i18n file; i18n definitely not yet ready!
  • Added functions for loading skin CSS & JS via ResourceLoader (JS not ready yet)
  • Renamed a bunch of i18n messages used by the skin so that they have the bluesky- prefix
  • Removed all instances of wfGetPad(), it's a CDN-related function specific to wikiHow
  • Fixed a bunch of E_STRICT junk
  • Ported over some necessary functions from other wikiHow extensions
  • getCategoryLinks() has a nasty debug line ($usebrowser = false;) and it needs some lovin'
  • Ported wikiHow's core hack to includes/User.php — the hasCookies function — over as function userHasCookies() and made use of it
  • s/->text()/->plain()/g for some Message objects to reduce reviewer anxiety
  • Toned down the excessive amount of hacks specific to the English version of wikiHow ($wgLanguageCode == 'en')
  • Removed more wikiHow-specific advertising code

  • Added support for the SkinAfterContent hook
  • Replaced 'sub_footer_new'/'sub_footer_new_anon' i18n messages with a more MediaWiki-esque, hard-coded footer
