The MediaWiki interface is the entirety of the output HTML code of a wiki page except the body text itself. The interface includes the tabs above each page, the sidebar, and personal links.
Localizing the interface[edit]
The default interface for many languages is defined in the MediaWiki localization files, and will update automatically if the language set by $wgLanguageCode
or if a user's preferences are changed.
You can edit the text strings and images displayed for the current user interface language via the special page Special:Allmessages. For more information on this page and editing these messages, please see:
Customizing the interface[edit]
Depending on one's requirements and programming expertise, there are several customization techniques available:
- System messages – Most look and feel customizations can be done by modifying system messages using the Special:AllMessages page. Editing interface messages is typically straightforward, just like editing a normal wiki page. These messages set defaults for various parts of the user interface and contain a combination of plain text, wiki markup, CSS and JavaScript. For details, see the documentation of the individual messages.
- Footer – Customize the content of the site footer.
- Skins – Fundamental changes to the layout of the interface may require attaching functions to one or more skin hooks and/or the creation of a custom skin. For more information, please see Manual:Skins .
- /JavaScript – improve browser behavior using some scripts. Includes a list of JavaScript variables.
- /Stylesheets – improve layout and design using CSS.
- /IDs and classes – a list of common CSS IDs and classes.
