Monaco is a skin originally developed by Fandom. The skin is currently maintained and provided by Universal Omega, which is compatible with MediaWiki 1.35 until 1.39 . No version before 1.35.0 is supported in this fork.

A fork compatible with MediaWiki 1.41 is provided by jdlrobson.

Installation

To install, install Monaco into a Monaco/ folder in your skins/ folder. From the command line you can do this by cd'ing to your skins/ folder inside your MediaWiki installation and running "git clone git://github.com/Universal-Omega/Monaco.git Monaco".

Once you have done that, add wfLoadSkin( 'Monaco' ); to your LocalSettings.php.

Help

This is a ShoutWiki help page, hosted at ShoutWiki Hub.

The themes currently only work with the forks for REL1_39 and REL1_41.

Layout

Monaco has a large area for the wiki's logo with the sidebar with expanding lists under that. The sidebar can link to anywhere on the wiki or even off the wiki. In the sidebar is usually links to recent changes, special pages, upload file, random page and occasionally help pages.

Under the sidebar is a community box that has links to your user page and talk page as well as showing the latest edits on the wiki.

Links along the top right are to your user page, talk page and watchlist. The more dropdown box can lead to your contributions and preferences. The link to log out is also here.

On the top left is a link to ShoutWiki Hub and wiki categories on the hub.
