The skinning tutorial is:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning/Tutorial
And for creating derivative skins use this technique:
http://blog.redwerks.org/2012/02/28/mediawiki-subskin-tutorial/
New skins should be created using the skinname/skinname.php patterns in
those tutorials.
Mid-term plans for skinning are likely going to include dropping support
for custom/3rd-party skins which add php files directly to skins/ instead
of using autoloading and a file to require like how extensions do it.

Hello everyone,
I want to modify the default Vector theme that comes with 1.21.1. But
before I do that I want to rename it. I want to name it nighttime. I
created a folder called nighttime and copied all the vector files into
it. Then I made a copy of Vector.php and called it Nighttime.php. I then
modified the appropriate contents of Nighttime.php as follows...
---------------
class SkinNighttime extends SkinTemplate {
protected static $bodyClasses = array( 'vector-animateLayout' );
var $skinname = 'nighttime', $stylename = 'nighttime',
$template = 'NighttimeTemplate', $useHeadElement = true;
...
unction setupSkinUserCss( OutputPage $out ) {
parent::setupSkinUserCss( $out );
$out->addModuleStyles( 'skins.nighttime' );
...
class NighttimeTemplate extends BaseTemplate {
-----------------
You can see what the site looks after I renamed everything at
http://beta.dropshots.com/j00100/media/75373447 It appears as if there
is no formatting.
I did some searching on Google but everything I found dealt with older
versions. Does anyone know how to rename Vector and have it working on
1.21?
Thanks
