Oh, I want to murder that. Have I mentioned that? I think I have, but if I
haven't, I'D LIKE TO MURDER THAT. It doesn't even say how to do the
important bits, while focussing on bits nobody in their right mind will
ever even touch, with no real structure or sensible organisation. It's
ludicrous.
I spent two hours adding a screenshot for the elements mentioned in
Skinning Part 1 [1]. Given that part 1 spends so much time describing
elements of a page, a picture seemed worth 1000 words. Is your thesis that
anyone who starts from the Example skin already has these elements and any
skin designer knows the ins and outs of wiki pages, so they don't need to
be mentioned? (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Isarra/How_to_make_a_motherfucking_skin
doesn't mention actions, personal tools, the page subheader, etc.) I'm
dubious. Even if one had a set of test pages that exercise all these
elements, saying what they are seems useful.
