[Mediawiki-l] Just the article wanted

[Jan Steinman]

Okay, I've gotten pretty good at hacking away at MediaWiki, and could 
probably find a way to do this, but I'm looking for the BEST way! 
Especially the way that will require the least pain in future releases.

I want a totally "nude" article page, without discuss/edit/history/move 
and ALL the other links, and no background. This will be dropped into a 
table, which will contain a page header (which sets the background), 
its own links down the side, and a page footer.

I looked around at the skins, and thought, "I need to start with the 
simplest skin," but MySkin.php is essentially empty. Should I copy 
this, and start overriding methods that provide non-article content 
with NOPs? Or is there a better way to get just the article text?

Thanks in advance for all the hints and tips that I'm sure are coming! 
:-)
