[[Project:About|MediaWiki]] is an open-source project and users are encouraged to make any [[MediaWiki skins]] under an [[w:Open Source Initiative|Open Source Initiative (OSI)]] approved GPLv2 [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical compatible license] (including MIT, BSD, PD). For skins that  have a compatible license, you can request [[Commit access|commit access]] to the MediaWiki source repository for skins. Alternatively, you may also post your code directly on your skin's page, although (contracted; show full)

:Credit for your work being preserved in future versions
::Similarly, you should credit the developers of any skins whose code you borrow from.

Any developer who is uncomfortable with any of these actions occurring should not host their code directly on the MediaWiki wiki or code repository. You are still encouraged to create a summary page for your skin on the wiki to let people know about the skin, and where to download it. You may also add the {{tl|
ExtensioSkin exception}} template to your skin requesting other developers refrain from modifying your code, although no guarantees can be made that an update will be made if deemed important for security or compatibility reasons. You may use the [[Project:Current issues|current issues noticeboard]] if you feel another developer has violated the spirit of these expectations in editing your skin.
