Hi,
maybe this does actually apply for your problem as well: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Integrating_your_wiki_content_in_other_...
You can skip step 2 and just use the skin you want to use for you second brand.
Maybe you can also expand the manual above to reflect your use case as well.
Regards, Matthias

Hi all - We're expanding our online help wiki, and we'd like to use the existing site to support two brands (for example, Brand A and Brand B).
The wiki content is generic enough for both brands, so long as we can add a different skin to each. The brands would share the mediawiki content, and each brand would have has it's own skin and URL.
The DynamicSkin extension seemed promising, but without more examples, I'm struggling to make it work. I need some guidance... is this the right tool for this situation? Can you tell me if this is practical, or should we just build two MediaWIki instances and push changes to both? (or is this worse?)
I'm old at techwriting, but new to webstuff, and we don't have an IT staff at our startup. I'm figuring it out by myself, and hope you folks can point me in the right direction.
Anyone have experience with this situation, or can offer other solutions?
