Ideally the fallback skin should make it easier to download a default skin (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:All_skins is a horrible page to land on). I'm currently trying to find the url for Vector E.g. A link to save this to your skins folder. Either that or we might want to put Vector as a submodule?
PS. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Vector needs an update.

Hi,
I just went on to `git pull --rebase origin master` on getting MW 1.24 master and suddenly I see a "Whoops! The default skin for your wiki ($wgDefaultSkin), vector, is not available."
I have to say that I'm not really interested in modifying the LocalSettings.php just to get a MW working as it used to be.
I do expect when downloading MW it is at least functional and not comes with a message of "Whoops!" your missing something.
The other funny thing, is the message which says: "You can paste the following lines into LocalSettings.php to enable all currently installed skins:" ( empty )
So I should paste an empty message to `LocalSettings.php`, what the hell!!
If you at least provide a composer download for the standard skins, I could go on and do `composer mediawiki/vector-skin` without having the remember the location of some gerrit repo, doing some cryptic git submodule stuff or care about "mediawiki/skins/*" at all.
Cheers

This has just happened.
The instructions MediaWiki will display should guide you through. Poke me on IRC if the email I send earlier and the instructions don't help :)
