I don't think the problem is specific to the skins directory. Bits has been acting weird all day. To answer your question, I think either URL is fine. It just depends on if you want the CSS updated automatically or manually when new versions are deployed. If anyone knows otherwise, feel free to chime in.

Hi.
The URL for CSS used to be something like this:
//bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.18/monobook/main.css
Now there's apparently this:
//bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.20wmf1/monobook/main.css
But this also works:
//bits.wikimedia.org/skins/monobook/main.css
Can someone please explain which should be used? Unexpectedly getting rid of skins-1.18/ is actively breaking the look of certain pages (such as the www portals), but I'm not clear whether I should simply be switching to a new MediaWiki version in the URL or if there's something canonical I can use instead (which would obviously be preferred).
I didn't see anything on the mailing list about this....
