== How to change the navigation ==
The navigation system is a system message like many aspects of the Mediawiki system. This means that you don't actually have to change 'code' to affect the menu. You can simply edit a special page in the mediawiki system. Edits to this page get stored in the database like every other page edit which provides built-in versioning etc. However, it can also mean that pushing changes from a development machine to a server can be more challenging than pushing 'code' changes.
In any case, to change the nav, you will want to edit the '''MediaWiki:Sidebar''' page. (e.g. <nowiki>http://example.com/wiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Sidebar</nowiki>) There are rules and conventions which apply here, and you can [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Navigation_bar find more help in the documentation]. In case you are going to change the location of blocks like the search box or toolbox in your theme, you'll want to edit them out of the default navigation box.
== How to make your own skin ==
You can create a skin all by yourself by following the steps provided below:
# Go to your mediawiki 'skins' directory;
# Copy the monobook directory and name it with the name of your skin: happy;
# Copy the MonoBook.php file and name it with the name of your skin: Happy.php;
