The WMAU skin is a reader-first blog-style skin for MediaWiki 1.35 and above. It is being developed for Wikimedia Australia.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called WMAU in your skins/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadSkin( 'WMAU' );

•  Done - Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the skin is successfully installed.

Configuration

1. Logos: See $wgLogos.
2. Site name and email: The name and email address that are displayed in the footer are set in these system messages:
   • mediawiki:wmau-site-full-title
   • mediawiki:wmau-site-email
3. Menus: There are three menus in the skin: one in the header, and two in the footer. They are all defined in the MediaWiki:Wmau-config.json page, where each is an array of objects containing any of the following keys:
   • page – Wiki page name to link to.
   • url – URL to link to. (Is overridden by page if both keys are present.)
   • icon – Icon to display. Must be available in the resources/images/feathericons directory.
   • title – Tooltip text.
   • text – The link text to display.
   • class – CSS class name(s) to add to the menu item's ‎<li> element.

   For a working example of the menu configuration, see wmau:MediaWiki:Wmau-config.json.
