3 / 5 (10 votes cast) |
[12] | GPL | Skin readily available in MediaWiki. Attempts to be slicker than MonoBook. |
| Azure
2.8 / 5 (5 votes cast) |
[13] | Proprietary | Clean but colorful fixed-width layout. More prominent navigation tabs, some of which use JavaScript. |
| AboutUs
1 / 5 (3 votes cast) |
[14] | Unknown (probably not reusable) | One of the more innovative skins, with many new user interaction mechanisms. Somewhat chaotic though. Note that the site is almost entirely Ruby On Rails currently, and is no longer technically MediaWiki. |
| Creative Commons
2.8 / 5 (4 votes cast) |
[15] | Unsure, but likely to be free for obvious reasons | Not super creative, but is clean and meshes well with the non-wiki site. |
| Wordpress Codex
2.5 / 5 (2 votes cast) |
[16] | Unknown | ... |
| AdobeLabs
2.5 / 5 (2 votes cast) |
[17] | Unknown | ... |
OrganicDesign
 3.2 / 5 (6 votes cast) |
[18] | Unknown | Rounded corners. Economically use of space – wiki logo is moved next to to the right of the page title and the user menu is moved to where the Monobook logo would have been. Registered users have the opinion to upload a "user photo". |
| WikiGender
1 / 5 (1 vote cast) |
[19] | Unknown | Improved navigation, especially in menus and search box. Fixed width choice hampers readability. |
