Extension:SkinPerNamespace

The SkinPerNamespace extension allows to specify a per-namespace skin that can be configured in $wgSkinPerNamespace, but this will also override users preferences, to avoid this you can set $wgSkinPerNamespaceOverrideLoggedIn to false.

• Download and move the extracted SkinPerNamespace folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cdextensions/
  gitclonehttps://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SkinPerNamespace
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'SkinPerNamespace' );
  

• Configure as required.
• Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

You can configure this extension with the following variables:

$wgSkinPerNamespace

array mapping namespaces index (i.e. namespaces numbers and not names) to a skin name. Use all lower case name for skin, like monobook, modern, ... otherwise it simply won't work. Example:

$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_TALK] = 'timeless';
$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_PROJECT] = 'monobook';

Note Note: You can find the constants in includes/Defines.php.

$wgSkinPerSpecialPage

skins for special pages, mapping canonical name (see SpecialPage::$mList in SpecialPage.php) to skin. This overrides $wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_SPECIAL]. Example:

$wgSkinPerSpecialPage['Search'] = 'vector';
$wgSkinPerSpecialPage['Recentchanges'] = 'modern';

$wgSkinPerNamespaceOverrideLoggedIn

if set to true (default value), it will also override the the skin for logged in users, to avoid this you can set it to false and $wgSkinPerNamespace will only apply to anonymous users.
