Looks good, thank you. Two questions.

1. Do we want translated screenshots too in this stage? If not, better exclude translation pages from the category ({{#translation:}} can be used to identify them in templates).
2. How big should the task be, are 3 extensions/skins ok or will that scare students away? IIRC the original recommendation was that each task should be 2-3 hours of an experienced contributor. Learning screenshot-taking uploading, categories, template editing and the extension/skin infobox are many "traps" for this task: should we eliminate some of these steps, can we link help pages for each? We can start with this size and adapt later.

Who wants to mentor the task?

Probably not. I tried adding the parser function in and ended up breaking the category https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ASkin&type=revision&diff=1963334&oldid=1962131... help?

You're right, 3 might be too many. Lets start with 1 for now and see how it goes?

Me! :)

+Niharika as she's interested in ways to make people set up mediawiki-vagrant.

https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ASkin&type=revision&diff=1963334&oldid=1963326 worked, right? 39 skins without a screenshot now. extensions without a screenshot now at 2355 and quickly decreasing.

Yes. Please someone create the task and I'll approve it.

Mostly I think so. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:GreyStuff is in the category, even though it has a screenshot. Weird.

I can co-mentor, if you think it'll help. Our timezones differ, so it might.

I'd say it's beginner task too. Straightforward stuff. Unless that hinders more students from taking it on?

This is not easy at all even for an experienced editor: most screenshots seen in the wild are wrong. If the amount of work proves small, we'll increase the number of extensions to cover.

What would count as 'the extension's functionality'?
Would it be something like this? ( even though it's a skin ) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:PureCss#How_it_looks
(btw, that one needs to be removed from ' MW skins without a screenshot'.

Probably.

(btw, that one needs to be removed from ' MW skins without a screenshot'.

It will be automatically if you use the "Skin" template at the beginning of the page as asked by the instructions.

Okay. I've updated the PureCss skin.
I'll take the screenshots of 'Monaco' and 'Timeglass'. Once I've finished (re)installing MW-vagrant

You haven't submitted the task? Only one screenshot is needed per task instance.

But I didn't takethat screenshot. It was already there. I just updated the 'image' parameter. (Does that count?)

Firstly, I appreciate the honesty. :)
Secondly, did you check if that screenshot is still valid and accurate? If not, could you do that?
If you do that, it'll count, else not. :)

Thanks.
Yup, the screenshot is valid, check: https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Welcome_to_the_Sugar_Labs_wiki?useskin=purecss (hilariously long loading time).

Licensing still needs to fixed. I sent an email to the author (air_bob). Included a link to this Phab. ticket as well. He may use the licensing asked for by this task.

I fused the two screenshots to make one big one!!!
Should I use that instead?

What about the licensing for that. I'm don't think it'd be 'my work'. It's more like 'derived'.

Oh, awesome. Yup, use this. (Although I already accepted your task).

I'm not sure about the licensing part. I think you can attribute it to the original uploader and make the license same as on the original ones. Probably CC-BY-SA.

kk, thanks.
The original one doesn't have a 'machine readable license'. And the author hasn't replied to my email, yet.
I'll wait for a week. If he doesn't reply, then I'll upload this image with the CC-BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/).
If he does reply, then I'll upload it with his license. (Probably the same one)

The author replied. Apparently I can do anything I want with the image, it doesn't have a license.
So I'll do what the I said in my last post.

Done

Added a screenshot for the 'Monaco' skin.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Monaco

Added a screenshot for the 'Example' skin too.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Example

@Saylikarnik
To add screenshots to the infobox update the 'image' parameter with the file name, not the file path.
eg: For the 'example skin' once you click on 'edit source' the infobox.image parameter should be just ExampleSkin.jpg and not https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ExampleSkin.jpg

Make sure you remove the screenshots you added separately later on. And thanks for doing this task. :)

Oh! I'll make the changes right away. :)

Should we add this task to Google Code-in again? I'm in for mentoring it.

Yes and thanks! :) We seem to handle this in T179709 this year.

I'm sorry, I haven't seen this task, and created T121332: Add screenshots to extension and skin infoboxes on mediawiki.org. Feel free to add yourself as mentor on GCI website !
