Hi Daniel!
As far as I can see "Skin" category+namespace+template is the only good way to describe and promote the skins. I agree however that we should distinguish between clean-written skins and hacking skins. I can create special WARNING template about that but I think that we should describe as many skins as possible with Skin:Skinnname template. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

That namespace is really exclusively for new skins (well and built-in skins) that follow the skins/skinname/skinname.php, etc... pattern outlined in the tutorial. Not skins still using hacks like modifying core files and placing php files directly into skins/ ((Btw, I have a separate tutorial on creating subskins that skin could probably use http://blog.redwerks.org/2012/02/28/mediawiki-subskin-tutorial/ though I haven't had the time to copy this one over to MediaWiki.org))

Hi Kaseluris Nikos! Since 2011 we decided to document skin and pay more attention to them. I'm pretty sure that beautiful skins will boost mediawiki popularity. Can you finalize the description of your skin here? I've created the initial version but I don't know some fields, like example of usage, version, etc. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Synagonism
