Citizen

Citizen is a responsive skin for MediaWiki built by the Star Citizen Wiki team. Although it is specifically built for the Star Citizen Wiki, the skin should be able to run on any Mediawiki installation that is 1.35 or higher. Due to resource constraints, we might not be able to provide full support for setups that are vastly different than us, but please feel free to submit patches or bug report!

Live demo can be seen at the Star Citizen Wiki, more avaliable here.

wfLoadSkin( 'Citizen' );

Configurations

The skin works out of the box without any configurations. The config flags allow more customization on the specific features in the skin.

Note that:

• By default, all security-related features are turned off to ensure maximum compatibility.
• If you have a lot of users that do not use javascript, it is recommended to turn off lazyloading of images as it requires javascript to display images properly.
