Bug ID: 60453
Summary: Core skins should initialise and include like other
skins/extensions do
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Skin and page rendering
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently the core skins are set up such that they have a skinname.php file and
a skinname directory and are automatically included as options if the
skinname.php file is found in the main directory, but this setup doesn't scale.
Skins shouldn't have these loose files. All of the skin files should be in the
skin's directory, and all skins should be included and initialised much like
extensions are. Many non-core skins already do this.
Two issues with setting this up:
* There would need to be some sort of default to account for the transition on
existing wikis.
* There would need to be a selection on install for which found skins will be
made available, probably much the same as how found extensions can be selected
to be enabled.
