Skin

Skin is a template which determines how the page is presented. You can set/edit skin using admin action.

User can specify which skin to use using userpref action.

If there is no user specified skin, standard skin will be used. Standard skins are page properties named skin0, skin1,..., skin4. Which skin to be used depends on user's clearance level. For example, if user clearance level is 1, skin1 is used. If skin1 does not exists, then upper levels will be searched.

Remember skin is a page property so if a page doesn't have one, it will be inherited. (See PageProperties ?)

Creating Your Own Skin

Use admin action and create a new page property which contains desired template.
