I18n fixes — the plain() format is more than appropriate for content action tabs and whatnot
Fixed one strange (and likely incorrect) way of generating an URL; I'm not sure why there's the _ URL parameter, but I'm guessing it's a cache-busting method specific to wikiHow's setup. I believe it's not going to cause any harm to non-wikiHow setups, which is why I didn't remove it.
Removed some unused variables which were used in the previous iteration of this skin. (gerrit:140373)

More general code cleanup all over the place (gerrit:140731)
Removed hard-coded bits 'n' pieces specific to wikiHow's social extensions
commonInterface.css is now loaded by the skin so that the orange bar of death is actually orange etc.
Gave div#bodycontents class="minor_section" so that it gets the necessary white background

Don't call $this->getSkin() (too) many times, just use the existing $sk variable. (gerrit:140878)
Use the available context instead of global state whereever possible. (gerrit:140879)

Wrangled with my Wikimedia Labs access after having the idea of putting up the development version on a "live" wiki so that people can see the project in action and interact with it. Did no commits on this day.
