Design considerations for the Semantic MediaWiki

This listing is closed ... and superseeded by Create new skin

How to

The main principle is to have a skin per namespace. The skin BIF contains the settings for the Basic Internet, and the main page BasicInternet:Basic_Internet contains the following elements:

Menu: Template:BIF_Navbar
Picture: Template:BIF_Slideshow
Template:BIF_About BIF_News
Footer

Accordingly, the links for CWI (Main page) are

Menu: Template:Main_Navbar
Picture: Template:CWI_Slideshow
Template:Main_About News
Footer


In order to create a new skin for a namespace, do the following

1) copy the BIF skin, as well as the BIF*.php files into a new skin, e.g. GravidPluss
2) edit the css accordingly ... more info required
3) Upload a logo and a banner
4) Create templates and pages (see example of BIF in the table)
