I think I mentioned it on this list recently, but I have a page that
should provide a useful answer to your question.
In
I describe how I've been
changing MediaWiki, including several skin hacks.
I also give brief hint sections on the various standards/languages that
go into MediaWiki.

Hi Manny,
I saw your previous email
where you talked about heavily customizing the MediaWiki skin.
Did you get anywhere?
Because I'm trying to do essentially the same thing.
I'm trying to fully transition my website
to MediaWiki.
Basically I want to use MediaWiki as a Content Management System. I'm
aware it's not strictly built for that because there is no access
control management, but I'd be the sole user anyway. My only point in
using MediaWiki is to stop writing HTML by hand (too cumbersome) and
have the MediaWiki-markup and all its features I've grown to like at my
disposal.
Now I'm essentially trying to get my MediaWiki skin to look pretty much
exactly like my homepage (see above) looks today. I'd want to hide all
the "edit", "preferences", etc. links.
Then all I'd need to do to edit my website is to manually type in
and login and start working away.
I know it's a daunting task, especially given my comparatively limited
qualifications, but anyway.
Please let me know how you got on.
Anybody else who's got any pointers/comments -- that's very welcome! :-)
Thanks and regards,
Jens Ropers
