Since version 4.39.x a release's major version corresponds to the version of Bootstrap in use, the minor version to the supported MediaWiki LTS release.

So release 4.39.0 uses the latest version of Bootstrap 4 and works with MediaWiki 1.39+. It's patches have the goal to support MediaWiki releases at least up to and including the next LTS version.

The master branch contains latest patches for the stable branch (currently 4.39.x), the development patches for the newest released minor version (currently 5.39.x).

Installation

You can Download Tweeki from GitHub or get it directly with git:

Change to the "skins" subdirectory of your MediaWiki installation:

cd skins

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/thaider/Tweeki

To checkout a specific (tagged) version:

git checkout v1.2.7

Add the following to LocalSettings.php:

require_once( "$IP/skins/Tweeki/Tweeki.php" );
$wgDefaultSkin = "tweeki";

(You may safely remove or comment out other mentions of $wgDefaultSkin.)

For 1.2.x versions add the following to LocalSettings.php if you want to use Bootstrap 4:

$wgTweekiSkinUseBootstrap4 = true;
