This is a simple toolkit for creating LightNCandy-based skins for MediaWiki.

To create a LightNCandy-based skin, you do the following:

1. Create your template class, just make a class that derives from LightNCandyTemplate, and override the getTemplate() method to return a LightNCandy template method. The easiest way to implement this is to use my [simple-lightncandy](https://github.com/werdnum/simple-lightncandy) class and call its getTemplate() method.
2. Create your skin class. Derive from SkinTemplate and set its $template member variable to the class name of your template class.
3. Register your skin with the factory.

For a full example, see the [Blueprint skin](https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-Blueprint).
