We've been discussing $IP/skins/skinname/skinname.php vs.
$IP/skins/SkinName/SkinName.php for awhile, but it occurs to me now –
after reading this patchset[1] – that it's possible some people in the
discussion may actually not know or have a misunderstanding of what this
file is.
$IP/skins/vector/vector.php or $IP/skins/Vector/Vector.php (whichever we
go with) is NOT what is currently at $IP/skins/Vector.php.
$IP/skins/Vector.php (and the like) contain classes like SkinVector and
VectorTemplate.
The proposed $IP/skins/vector/vector.php and $IP/skins/Vector/Vector.php
are meta(?) files – like an extension's $IP/extensions/{name}/{name}.php
file – which are responsible for setting things like the skin's credits,
autoloading, i18n, resourceloader modules, and registering the skin
inside $wgValidSkinNames.
For example my tutorial[1] describes 3 files in the skin structure:
* skins/myskin/myskin.php – The new skin file containing definitions
for credits, $wgValidSkinNames, $wgAutoloadClasses, $
wgExtensionMessagesFiles, and $wgResourceModules.
* skins/myskin/MySkin.skin.php – The file containing SkinMySkin and
MySkinTemplate classes. The naming came from the FooBar.hooks.php
pattern some extensions use but can be anything you want.
* skins/myskin/MySkin.i18n.php – The old i18n for the skin (from the
pre-json era of i18n). Likewise the name can be anything you want.
