List of valid skin names.

• The key should be the skin's id in all lower case. Generally this should be the same as the name of the base folder inside skins/ that contains the skins css, resources, etc...
• The value should be an identifier which when prefixed with 'Skin' becomes the class name of the class implemented by your skin. ie: If your skin's class name is 'SkinFooBar' the value in the array should be $wgValidSkinNames['foobar'] = 'FooBar';)
• Prior to MediaWiki 1.18 the value was a fallback display name and the class name was determined by running ucfirst on the lowercase skin id. ie: For $wgValidSkinNames['foobar'] = 'FooBar'; it would try to load the 'SkinFoobar' class. This caused issues with our AutoLoader being case-sensitive despite PHP class names being case-insensitive.

The default skins will be added later, by Skin::getSkinNames(). Use Skin::getSkinNames() as an accessor if you wish to have access to the full list.
