Details

The file system path to the skins directory. This controls where MediaWiki will look for skin files on the server itself.

Set to "{$IP}/skins" by Setup.php before loading local settings.

Ignored when the exact path to a particular skin's .json configuration file is given to the wfLoadSkin() function.

Example: wfLoadSkin( 'Vector2', '/path/to/Vector2/skin.json' );
