(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.
