(A plug for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114071 "Let's discuss the skin creation process")
That and Isarra's tech talk inspired me to improve https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning : part 1 now has a picture showing some components, part 3 no longer talks about old i18n, etc. I also dragged https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:QuickTemplate into 2015.
The tutorial is pretty good IMO, the problem is it forced repetition. part 1 "Here are some page elements you need to worry about"; part 2 "Let's output some of those page elements"; part 3 "How to test these page elements". But maybe that's OK.

As a bit of a follow up to the talk I did last week, I wrote up a tutorial on-wiki how to make a skin: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Isarra/How_to_make_a_motherfucking_skin The plan is to eventually replace Manual:Skinning with that and some subpages with specific info, but if anyone wants to run through now, see if it's useful, try it out, see if anything is missing or wrong, I'd appreciate the help making it better.

ps - Yes, I may have read motherfuckingwebsite.com a few too many times before writing that up. I, uh, sort of apologise.
