Skins customize the appearance of a wiki. Miraheze offers an extensive collection of skins and allows you to pick one as your default on your wiki. The global default on Miraheze is Vector 2022, which replaced Vector as the default in MediaWiki 1.38.

For a complete list of skins (including those not installed on Miraheze), see Skins on MediaWiki.org.

FAQ

A skin I want isn't on here, how do I request it be installed?  

Please file a task on Phabricator requesting that a skin be installed. Please ensure the skin isn't on our declined list before making the task.

I enabled a skin but nothing changed, why?  

Enabling a skin is not the same as changing the default. All enabling a skin does is make it available to pick in your user preferences. To change the default skin, please read the next section.

How do I set a skin as the default?  

To set a new default skin on your wiki, please go to Special:ManageWiki/settings Styling > Default skin (on your wiki). Once you change the skin, depending on your cache settings, it may take a few minutes to change on your screen.

How do I change only my personal skin?  

To change your personal skin, visit your skin preferences.
