Hi all!
I have recently started a new RFC on revamping how skins are created, to improve usability
in creating skins, extend skins with new UI (in Extensions), and give more power and
flexibility for system administrators to customise skins for their own sites without
causing undue burden on upgrades.
Details are on the RFC page on
mediawiki.org, linked below. I welcome all comments and
questions, as I believe that these changes will greatly improve the current state of our
skin system. I prefer that comments and questions are collected on the
mediawiki.org page
so that we can keep them all in one place, but I’ll answer anything here as well 😊
