Citizen

License: GPL v3 MediaWiki: >=1.35.0

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 is designed to be flexible to run on any Mediawiki installation that is 1.35.2 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.

SkinStyles

Citizen includes numerous skinStyles that applies custom styling to extensions and core libraries. Please feel free to submit PRs if you want to add support for more extensions! Unless the extension has never supported the current minimum required MediaWiki version of the skin, the skinStyles are based on the latest version of the said MW release branch (e.g. REL1_35 for MediaWiki 1.35).

  • Grade A - Overhaul - Major adjustments to UI, plus Grade B.
  • Grade B - Dynamic - Colors are converted into CSS variables, little to none style adjustments.
  • Grade E - Legacy - Dark mode colors are hardcored as LESS variables. These should be updated to at least Grade B support.
