Hello, i need a blank wiki where only the text of the article appears
for
the viewer. No header, footer, navigation, interaction, search, toolbox, languages, or categories should appear. Only the admin, or logged in
persons
should have the standard navigation, and the ability to edit, and
discuss
the page. How to realize this request? Thanks, Leander Taler
You can do that by creating a skin with the unwanted items not used. Have the admins and logged-in users select a conventional skin and have the bland skin used for others.
Thank you very much for the quick reply. I will try it.
Note, by the way - this doesn't stop people who realise it's MediaWiki from going to the various MediaWiki special pages and so on if they know how to construct the URLs by hand! (This is a common way of working out if someone's using MediaWiki for their website, for example.) It's not a security measure, just obfuscation.
