I think I agree with Ciz.

If the admins (eg, Brian and I on New Zealand) have not spent a moment choosing 
anything, then someone who leaves the "See custom skin" box checked (after you 
guys set it it like that without telling most people anything was changing) 
will see (as I did on several wikis) your new standard skin, NOT something 
admins have chosen. Maybe add to Ciz's suggested wording: "(or the Wikia 
standard skin if local admins have not set any)"

  Subject: Re: [Wikia-l] Skin - "custom" skin


  so if i got you correctly John

  Dofus wiki has custom monobook and custom quartz slate
  Slate is mark as default

  user X goes and put as his personal preference quartz sapphire 
  but has check the "See Custom Skin" 

  he enters Dofus wiki so when he enters he see the Quartz slate right?

  If thats thats correct the wording in the preference seems not easy to 
understand and may lead to an incorrect idea of what that option is. The idea 
that it gave me the wording is that you are able default skins "0 
customization" from administrators, my english may not be that good but instead 
of 

  "Some wiki administrators take a lot of time to customize the look of their 
wikis. Check the box above to see their wikis with full customization."

  to something like 

  "Some wikis are/have set default to a different skin with a 
personal/customize look to their wikis topic. Check the box above to see the 
official default skin of each wiki" 

  / = means options

    Hi,

    Just about right...

    - you can choose a "preset" theme for your personal choice across
    Wikia. This is considered your personal "default."
    - if "see custom wikis" is checked, you'll see what admins have chosen 
    as the default for their particular wikis - that choice could be
    "custom" or one of the "presets." So their choice overrides yours when
    you visit their wiki.
    - if "see custom wikis" is not checked, you'll only see your personal 
    choice - so your choice overrides the admin's choice.

    Help us make the skin chooser page better if it isn't clear on there. :)
