Hi,
I upgraded a wiki (via Git) to the latest version, which is 1.25alpha, and
discovered that core MediaWiki no longer includes any skins. To get skins
via Git, the error message at the top of the wiki helpfully recommended
"Cloning one of the mediawiki/skins/* repositories via git [sic] into the
skins/ directory of your MediaWiki installation." What was missing,
however, was an actual Git command to call. I looked in
mediawiki.org and
couldn't find anything either. I tried some obvious commands, like:
git clone
http://git.wikimedia.org/tree/mediawiki%2Fskins/Vector.git
...but those didn't work. Thankfully, someone on IRC suggested the
following:
git clone
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-Vector
...which did work. But that doesn't seem like the official location; and in
any case, this really should be documented somewhere. Can anyone help with
this?
