I introduced this facility to core many years ago, and I still generally think it is a good idea. There are in fact at least another 6 skins that use this system: they are in mediawiki/extensions/skins in Gerrit -- a directory layout carried over from Subversion. Nostalgia should have been put there too. The main reason I think it is a good idea is code sharing. Treating skins as extensions means you can share automated distribution and installation systems. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
