Introduction

For the Final Minetest wiki, and for MediaWiki wikis in general, the Timeless skin is recommended because as of mid-2023 it's more responsive than other bundled skins.

However, some patches to the Timeless skin are recommended. The patches are provided and discussed in the following sections.

The following sections aren't Linux "patch" files. Instead, they're condensed patches that are intended for human readers. The associated edits need to be made manually.

Timeless Real-Estate patch

This patch is highly recommended. It prevents, except for very wide screens, the creation of an unnecessary 3rd column on the right.

 --- Timeless.old/skin.json
 +++ Timeless/skin.json
 - "media": "screen and (min-width: 1340px)"
 + "media": "screen and (min-width: 1800px)"
 
 - "media": "screen and (min-width: 1100px) and (max-width: 1339px)"
 + "media": "screen and (min-width: 1100px) and (max-width: 1799px)"
 
 --- Timeless.old/resources/variables.less
 +++ Timeless/resources/variables.less
 -@desktop-mid-width: 1339px;
 -@desktop-large-floor: 1340px;
 
 +@desktop-mid-width: 1799px;
 +@desktop-large-floor: 1800px;

Timeless Alt-Tag patch

This patch is less important but will help with SEO. It adds support for an optional "alt" tag that can be added to a Timeless wordmark image.

 --- Timeless.old/includes/TimelessTemplate.php
 +++ Timeless/includes/TimelessTemplate.php
     if ( !$wordmarkImage && isset( $logos['wordmark'] ) ) {
         $wordmarkData = $logos['wordmark'];
         $wordmarkImage = Html::element( 'img', [
             'src' => $wordmarkData['src'],
             'height' => $wordmarkData['height'] ?? null,
             'width' => $wordmarkData['width'] ?? null,
 +           'alt'   => $wordmarkData['alt'] ?? null,
         ] );
     }

To use the added feature, you'd put something similar to the 'wordmark' part below in your "LocalSettings.php" "$wgLogos" block:

$wgLogos = [
    '1x'       => "fmwikismall.png" ,
    'icon'     => "fmwikismall.png" ,
    'wordmark' => [
        # recommended size is 200x38 or less
        'src' => 'fmwordmark-text.png' ,
        'alt' => 'Final Minetest wordmark' ,
    ] ,
];
