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.

It might be easier to page-scrape into an alternate site using action=render. At least if you don't want sneaky users figuring out how to switch skins. Or can one restrict skin use?

You could use mod_rewrite to just rewrite every incoming request to exactly what you want them to see - completely ignoring any arguments, query strings, etc.
