Hello, I am the administrator of a freshly installed copy of MediaWiki. I've hunted and pecked around the MediaWiki guide but can't see how to modify the style sheets to change the look of my new wiki, or maintain skins or anything.
I'm a pretty versed programmer, sysadmin, etc. I'm comfortable with hacking about in CSS and [X]HTML. I could just jump in and start hacking away at stylesheets/mono/main.css, but that strikes me as a brutish approach.. I'm guessing either there's a way of setting up a seperate folder for skinned files, or even better, a way of maintaining one's css/js via the wiki itself?
Yes, copy the monobook dir to a custom_name and edit it. You will have to add the noew custon_name to a few files in the includes dir, just grep -i MonoBook and you'll know where and what to do. For making it default you have to look into LocalSettings.php
