- unstable: Category:Unstable skins
- experimental: Category:Experimental skins
- stable: Category:Stable skins
- beta: Category:Beta status skins
- unmaintained: Category:Unmaintained skins
- otherwise: Category:Skins with unknown status

Template:Skin/CreateSkinInputBox
Enhancing this template
If you would like to improve on this template, thanks! This is a complicated template so here is some help along the way:
In addition, Template:Skin/Sample stores the boiler plate that is preloaded into newly created pages and contains some basic documentation on how to fill in the template parameters. It needs to be kept in sync with the documentation.
The Create skin button
To improve the create skin button behavior:
- Template:Skin/Sample: The boilerplate skin that is preloaded into newly-created pages.
- Template:Skin/CreateSkinInputBox: An input box that can be inserted wherever you want users to easily create skins. For documentation on the
{{#switch:open
|c|close =
|e|empty|s|single|v|void
|o|open
|p|pair = <{{#if:|inputbox|inputbox}}{{#if:| {{{attribs}}}}}
}}{{#switch:open
|c|close =
|e|empty|s|single|v|void = />
|o|open = >
|p|pair = {{#ifeq:inputbox|!--||>}}...
}}{{#switch:open
|e|empty|s|single|v|void
|o|open =
|c|close
|p|pair = {{#ifeq:inputbox|!--|-->|</inputbox>}}
}} tag, please see Extension:InputBox.
- Skin:TheSkin: - Defines a placeholder, in case a user accidentally hits the create button without changing the skin name.
Infobox parameters
In general:
- To make this template easy to use, each label in the infobox is linked to documentation on the template parameter(s) it displays. If you add a parameter, please be sure to also add it to the content parameter documentation and link its label to that documentation.
Test cases
See if the following pages are still ok, after editing this template.
