About
The MediaWiki skinning system has been significantly revised as of version 1.37.1[1]. It now makes extensive use of Mustache and Less:
- Mustache (template system) handles HTML output
- Less (stylesheet language) handles CSS output
HTML: Mustache
Tentatively, everything starts with the templates/skin.mustache file. This file then invokes other Mustache code to handle various sections as needed.
CSS: Less
