Skins define how content is presented to users and include such settings for the overall website layout, typography, color scheme, and more.<\/p>\n<p>By default, when you install MediaWiki, the platform comes with several pre-installed skins that you can choose from when working on your wiki layout design. However, if none meet your preferences, you can browse and install other themes that fit your design requirements.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to know that MediaWiki skins only change the front-end design of your MediaWiki site and do not change any core functionality of your wiki.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we share how to install a MediaWiki skin, how to activate it, and how to use it on your wiki project in several easy-to-follow steps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Download a MediaWiki Skin<\/h2>\n<p>The first step in the process is to find and download a skin that best suits your design requirements. To do so, you can browse the vast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediawiki.org\/wiki\/Category:All_skins\">Media Wiki Skin Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Browse the list of available skins and download the one you like the best on your computer device. To do so, browse the available MediaWiki skins, and click on the name of the one you wish to browse and eventually download:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-75535 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/awpages.bg.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1-how-to-install-mediawiki-skin-list.jpg\" alt=\"Browse the list of available MediaWiki skins to install the one that best suits your needs\" width=\"1000\" height=\"633\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you open the Skin\u2019s review page, click on the <strong>Download <\/strong>button:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-75536 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/awpages.bg.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-how-to-install-mediawiki-skin-download-button.jpg\" alt=\"Download MediaWiki skin\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1011\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After you click the <strong>Download<\/strong> button, an archived set of files will be downloaded on your computer device. The next step is to upload this file to the AwardSpace server where you have<a href=\"\/kb\/how-to-install-mediawiki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> installed MediaWiki core<\/a>. We share how to do so in the following paragraphs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Upload the Skin to MediaWiki<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have the ZIP file on your device, it is time to upload it to the AwardSpace server where MediaWiki core is installed.<\/p>\n<p>To do so, first log in to <a href=\"\/kb\/how-to-log-into-the-hosting-control-panel\/\">the AwardSpace Hosting Panel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once there, head to <strong>File Manager<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75537\" src=\"https:\/\/awpages.bg.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/3-how-to-install-mediawiki-skin-awardspace-file-manager.jpg\" alt=\"AwardSpace hosting panel File Manager\" width=\"1000\" height=\"586\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, open the root directory of your MediaWiki website by double-clicking on the folder with the website\u2019s domain name:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75538\" src=\"https:\/\/awpages.bg.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/4-how-to-install-mediawiki-skin-awardspace-file-manager-mediawiki-site-root.jpg\" alt=\"MediaWiki website root directory in AwardSpace hosting panel\" width=\"1015\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, within that folder, find another one called <strong>Skins\/:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75539\" src=\"https:\/\/awpages.bg.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/5-how-to-install-mediawiki-skin-root-directory-skins-folder.jpg\" alt=\"MediaWiki root folder skins directory\" width=\"1009\" height=\"669\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Double-click on the <strong>skins\/ <\/strong>folder so that you can browse its content:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75540\" src=\"https:\/\/awpages.bg.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/6-how-to-install-mediawiki-skin-list.jpg\" alt=\"MediaWiki list of installed skins\" width=\"1014\" height=\"529\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, it is time to upload the ZIP file with the skin you downloaded on your computer device.
