The skin used on this site is based on [http://paulgu.com/wiki/Mediawiki_Skins the excellent work of Paul Gu] Developers should check out [[Wiki developers]] for more sites of people like Paul who develop wikis.

There are countless examples of mediawiki installations across the Internet. Some of the ones that have actually bothered to customize the "look and feel" include

* the KDE Techbase http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Software_Engineering_Framework

# the [http://linuxfoundation.org/ Linux Foundation] site is powered by Mediawiki, but rumor is that they are moving more content to drupal.

* The Tango project (see "icons" above) runs their website on a customized ~~mediawiki~~. http://~~tango~~.~~freedesktop~~.org/~~Tango_Desktop_Project~~

* the [http://techbase.kde.org/ KDE Techbase] is Mediawiki. The http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Software_Engineering_Framework article explains all their tech platform tools.

* The Blender project has a nice custom skin http://wiki.~~blender~~.org~~/index.php~~/Main_Page

* The [http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project Tango] project (see "icons" above) runs their website on a customized Mediawiki.

* The [http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Main_Page Blender] project has a nice custom skin

* The [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Main_Page Eclipse project] uses Mediawiki for their wiki site

I've seen some other projects that have nice ~~mediawiki~~ skins, but I never bothered to write them down. A quick search reveals several projects by Suse:

I hesitate to call it a 'nice example' because it doesn't seem all that compelling, but there is the mozilla project wiki https://wiki.mozilla.org/Main_Page http://developer.mozilla.org used to run ~~mediawiki~~, with a very nice theme and lots of custom templates and graphics. Now they are running a commercial opensource wiki product called "deki" which is apparently trying to compete in the "enterprise wiki" market.
