Chameleon is a highly customizable [MediaWiki](https://www.mediawiki.org) skin that uses the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) framework.

It currently provides five different layouts to choose from. The standard layout features a horizontal navigation menu with dropdowns at the top and a horizontal menu with dropups for the language links at the bottom. You can easily customize each layout via its XML file.
