Installation

1. Copy the code into a file (e.g. skype.php)
2. Save the file in the extensions directory of your mediawiki folder
3. Add the line include('extensions/skype.php'); to the end of your LocalSettings.php file

Now you can use the extension with <skype>Skype-Username</skype> in the wiki

Beta

Template:Extension Allow the "call", "add" or "chat" actions to be used using:

"<skype style="style_name" action="action">Skype-Username</skype>"

see Talk:Skype_extension for more information on the beta
