Hi,
I want to remove the item from the User Preferences page that lets Users change the skin they see my site with. What is the best way to do this?
*Why* I want to remove the skin choice from User Preferences because I have some customizations in Monobook that are important to my site and I don't want to go though customizing more than one skin.
One example of my site CSS customizations is some green bordered cards on a page. The cards' green borders and layouts are CSS classes customized in skins/monobook/main.css and, so that they will print properly, also in skins/common/commonPrint.css
The green bordered cards are on this page: http://wikigogy.org/Discussion_card
Ideas?
Thanks,

see http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2006-June/012499.html
or go into yourwikifolder/skins and put the skins you want to disable in the *skins/disabled* folder (but I think -not sure- you must keep the standard.php file in the skins folder and disable it using the above link)

I decided to do it by putting this into LocalSettings.php:
# To remove various skins from the User Preferences choices $wgSkipSkins = array("chick", "cologneblue", "myskin", "nostalgia", "simple", "standard");
(that is one $wgSkipSkins line above, but broken for email)
See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Skins#Remove_Skins
Ideally I would like to completely remove or hide the Skin page link/tab from User Preferences, too. Any Ideas how best to do that? Maybe with CSS?

go in *includes\SpecialPreferences.php* and comment the lines
# Skin # $wgOut->addHTML( "<fieldset>\n<legend>\n" . wfMsg('skin') . "</legend>\n" ); $mptitle = Title::newMainPage(); $previewtext = wfMsg('skinpreview'); # Only show members of $wgValidSkinNames rather than # $skinNames (skins is all skin names from Language.php) foreach ($wgValidSkinNames as $skinkey => $skinname ) { if ( in_array( $skinkey, $wgSkipSkins ) ) { continue; } $checked = $skinkey == $this->mSkin ? ' checked="checked"' : ''; $sn = isset( $skinNames[$skinkey] ) ? $skinNames[$skinkey] : $skinname;
$mplink = htmlspecialchars($mptitle->getLocalURL("useskin=$skinkey")); $previewlink = "<a target='_blank' href="$mplink">$previewtext</a>"; if( $skinkey == $wgDefaultSkin ) $sn .= ' (' . wfMsg( 'default' ) . ')'; $wgOut->addHTML( "<input type='radio' name='wpSkin' id="wpSkin$skinkey" value="$skinkey"$checked /> <label for="wpSkin$skinkey">{$sn}</label> $previewlink<br/>\n" ); } $wgOut->addHTML( "</fieldset>\n\n" );

Nice. Working beautifully. Thanks you. And I have added this tip to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Skins
Wait, that was probably not the best wiki to leave my note on. I'm confused. I should have put my help note on mediawiki.org and *not* on meta.wikimedia.org, right?

Hm.. I think I should have put that note on mediawiki.org instead. So now I have, here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skins
