(A plug for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114071 "Let's discuss the
skin creation process")

That and Isarra's tech talk inspired me to improve
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning : part 1 now has a picture
showing some components, part 3 no longer talks about old i18n, etc. I also
dragged https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:QuickTemplate into 2015.

The tutorial is pretty good IMO, the problem is it forced repetition. part
1 "Here are some page elements you need to worry about"; part 2 "Let's
output some of those page elements"; part 3 "How to test these page
elements". But maybe that's OK.
