Set up your MediaWiki development environment and upload a screenshot of a MediaWiki skin
This is already a bit more advanced beginner task (we also have beginner tasks that are easier and take less time. But this task is very useful if you plan to continue with tasks that are about coding in MediaWiki core or MediaWiki extensions.)
- Set up a Vagrant instance (your development environment) - see this wiki page for instructions
- In your development environment, install a MediaWiki skin of your choice that does not yet have a screenshot on the extension's home page on mediawiki.org
- Make a screenshot of the skin (if possible, please only display the content within your browser window, and do not include elements of your browser software itself or even your operating system) - read more information about good screenshots here
- Upload your screenshot of the extension to Wikimedia Commons (use "MediaWiki screenshot" when a license is asked)
- Insert the image into the home page of the skin (use the
|image =parameter of the Skin template)
