Which extension that allow admin to set default skin in preferences? --Ans 03:53, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * No extension is actually needed, anyone who is an admin on a wiki can click on the Skin tab in preferences and at the bottom there will be an "Admin options" section allowing you to choose a default skin. -- 05:08, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I do not see it, in my mediawiki 1.14 installation. I also cannot find the phrase "Admin Options" in mediawiki 1.15.1 source. --Ans 10:22, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wikia customised the preferences for skins, so yea, it isn't in a default installation. All Wikia code can be found here or here. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  22:42, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

In normal stock MediaWiki, you just set $wgSkin to the skin you want in LocalSettings. That is essentially what our system does, just via a database. --Uberfuzzy 20:16, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
