Thanks for the explanation Kevin, your methods worked fine.

you can use RequestContext::getMain()->getWikiPage()->getId();

RequestContext and WikiPage were added in MW 1.18, so they won't be
available in the (very old, no longer supported) "pre v1.16" version
stated in the question.
In pre-1.18 versions, use $wgTitle->getArticleId() (with global
$wgTitle; in the function). However, in the skin's QuickTemplate
subclass, you can use $this->data['articleid'] (no global statement
needed).
Do note that if you only need to use the value in JavaScript code, you
shouldn't have to change the skin's PHP code. The variables documented
in Manual:Interface/JavaScript as available in your MW version should
already work (e.g. alert(wgArticleId); should show the value in a dialog
box unless your MW version is older than 1.8).

It may change when a page is deleted and undeleted. Also, it is not
undefined for non-existent and special pages but rather zero.
