Anpassning

MediaWiki kan anpassas på flera olika sätt. Det distribueras som GPL. Du måste därav bidra med dina egna utseenden, förlängningar och patchar.

Konfigurering

• Configuration parameters may be easily defined in a LocalSettings.php file.
• Interface messages can be modified in the wiki.
• Extensions and patches are provided by the community, some of which are available here. They generally fall into one of these categories:
  • Extensions defining a new wiki tag (see also: Write your own MediaWiki extension)
  • Extensions defining a new special page (see also: Writing a new special page)

• MediaWiki is multilingual, and fully so with the Translate extension.
• The FAQ contains a lot of useful customization info.

Skins

Just one example of an original skin (Refreshed)

Look and feel can be modified by using different skins. There are various third-party skins, which allow radically changing the look and feel of the site.
