Separate skins from lists of extension points
[edit]Hi all, I'd like to propose removing the link to Manual:Skins from this page, from Manual:Developing extensions, and from Template:ExtensionTypes. Although skins are technically a type of extension, skins are used differently from the other pages linked here. Hooks, parser functions, special pages, etc. are implementation strategies that can be used by extensions to interface with MediaWiki core. In contrast, skins are separate code bases with a limited role (to provide a UI). By removing the links to skin documentation here, we can avoid implying that the skin framework can be added as part of an extension, and we can rely on higher-level pages (such as Developer hub) to present skins and extensions as separate implementation options.
