shortcuts wp skin wp skin wp theme wp theme wikipedia as a website powered by mediawiki a wiki software is a skinnable website which means the presentation look and feel of the pages can be changed as of january 2024 update there are five available skins vector 2022 default on desktop from 2022 vector 2010 default on desktop from 2010 to 2021 minerva neue mobile monobook default from 2004 to 2009 and timeless the following screenshots show the current skins along with preview links that allow anyone to load this page using them vector 2022 preview vector 2010 preview monobook preview timeless preview minerva neue preview how to change the skin edit once you have an created an account and logged in go to preferences appearance skin in the default vector 2022 skin the preferences page can be accessed at any time from the personal settings dropdown in the top right corner and selecting preferences choose your skin and click save then all pages will be loaded with the new selected skin if you are not logged in you can only use the default skin vector 2022 normally however any user may change the skin of one page at a time by adding useskin skinname to the end of the url or useskin skinname for page urls which already include a e g useskin vector or useskin vector 2022 skin selection bookmarklet and script edit you may want to create a bookmarklet in your local web browser in order to easily switch skin of any page including articles and pages without select skin templates with the click of a button for example to create a bookmark to change the current page to monobook create a bookmark in your browser edit the bookmark or change its so called properties so that the address field reads this exactly javascript var url new url location href url searchparams set useskin monobook location href url use the apostrophe found on your keyboard not typographer s quotes this works whether you are logged in or logged out it works even if you don t have a user account at all if you have any questions or suggestions related to this the correct venue is wp vpt be sure to link to wikipedia skin skin selection bookmarklet in your request registered users can also install the skinswitcher user script which adds a menu to change the skin on a page limitations edit you must click it again each time you navigate to another page if you would like to view the page to which you navigated in that special skin nevertheless various browser add ons allow you to circumvent this issue a list of these add ons and how to use them is however out of scope of this page customisation edit main page wikipedia customisation default wikipedia skins are defined in several css and javascript files some of them are only editable by people having write access to the wikimedia foundation servers and some are simple wiki pages belonging to the mediawiki namespace these wiki pages can be seen directly on wikipedia but to prevent vandals from breaking the whole website appearance they are protected so they are only editable by interface administrators however any changes can be suggested on their talk page see wikipedia catalogue of css classes users can customise the way default skins appear using specific subpages of their user page these subpages are viewable by anybody but can only be edited by the user that the subpage belongs to and by interface administrators modifying these wiki pages only affects their owner customisation may involve one or both of cascading style sheets or css found in the user s css files javascript found in the user s js files there are two ways to apply customisation using special mypage common css and special mypage common js links which point to a location which applies to all of a user s skins using special mypage skin css and special mypage skin js links which point to a location which applies only to a user s current skin for example if you re using the default vector 2010 skin special mypage skin css takes you to special mypage vector css and if you switch skins to monobook its contents will no longer apply you can use both the common and the skin specific files if you do this the common file is loaded before the skin specific one note these links are redirects to your own customisation subpages special mypage is an alias for your userpage try it and see for example when your username is example special mypage common css will direct you to user example common css after you have edited your personal skin files if the changes do not appear right away you may need to wait 30 seconds or more for the servers to update then bypass your browser cache to see the change see also how to import monobook settings into vector for the list of all css and javascript files involved in the rendering process see wikipedia catalogue of css classes css edit main page wikipedia customisation personal css see also help cascading style sheets the css files can be used for all manner of customisation for those fluent in cascading style sheets css a common use which is relatively straightforward is hiding a system message or template you don t wish to see see wikipedia customisation hiding specific messages javascript edit main page wikipedia user scripts on wikipedia javascript can be used to add new features such as add find replace textboxes or give advanced rollback options there are scripts to customise everything from default font style to custom buttons many script pages can be imported and used different scripts can also be used in conjunction with each other to accomplish several tasks at once some scripts are available as gadgets which means they can be installed by simply ticking a box in the gadgets tab of special preferences in order to add pre existing scripts to your javascript page add subst js name of script to the file more detailed instructions can be found at the wikipedia user scripts guide global css and javascript edit additionally to the above you can also create files at meta special mypage global css and meta special mypage global js these will then be loaded on all wikimedia wikis deprecated skins edit modern preview cologne blue preview the modern and cologne blue skins are deprecated they are hidden from the list of selectable skins but users who had previously selected them can still use them and they can still be viewed temporarily using the useskin url parameter they are no longer maintained so some features may not work on them and any bugs in them will probably not be fixed cologne blue was created on 24 march 2002 and deprecated in 2019 see tech news discussion on wikipedia and phabricator modern was created in 2008 and deprecated in 2021 see phabricator wikipedia discussion 1 wikipedia discussion 2
