== Nice Examples ==

~~The~~ I've previously created a custom 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~~ MediaWiki installations across the Internet. We've started indexing all the wikis we can find, and you can see a list of the top wikis at {{WikiReportUrl}}. Some of the ones that have actually ~~bothered to customize~~ customized the "look and feel" include~~# the [http://linuxfoundation.org/ Linux Foundation] site is powered by Mediawiki, but rumor is that they are moving more content to drupal.~~

* 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 [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

* [~~http~~https://~~amarok~~community.kde.org/~~wiki/Main_Page~~ Amarok Amarok] rocks with MediaWiki

* [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Main_Page Creative Commons]

* [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Version Fedora Project wiki]

* [http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Main_Page Ubuntu Guide]

* http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org* http://beagle-project.org/Main_Page* The [~~http~~https://~~kubuntuguide~~wiki.mozilla.org/~~Intrepid Kubuntu Guide~~Main_Page Mozilla Project wiki]runs MediaWiki

~~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:~~

~~# http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org~~

~~# http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page~~

~~# http://beagle-project.org/Main_Page~~

~~# http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org~~

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.
