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 below.

Note: These aren't Linux "patch" files. Instead, these are condensed patches that are intended for human readers. The associated edits need to be made manually.

Timeless Real-Estate patch

This patch 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 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' ,
    ] ,
];
