As I changed in the prefrence my skin to prabably "myskin" it was not displayed corectly. Then I tried to change the skin back but I the praticular link was not clickable altough indicated as link. With the help of an adminstrator the skin could be changed back.

Nein, außer das du direkt mit einem Entwickler redest, fällt mir da nichts ein. Vorschlag: Ändere dein Passwort und sag mir nochmal deinen Benutzernamen und dein Passwort und welches Skin du haben möchtest.

I didn't think the "myskin" dummy skin was installed on Wikimedia?
Hmm. So it is. Perhaps that should change.
'MySkin' is provided as a minimal base which extreme customizers can use to build up their custom CSS/JS stuff on top of, without having to deconstruct the default MonoBook bits. However it should *work* fine despite looking plain; more information from the original poster about what wasn't clickable, and what browser is being used, is required.
In deed the skin was realy plain so that I wanted to change ist back. The particular link to change this back was not clickable The Browser was Internet Explorer

I've had this problem. I chose another skin and I hate it. But it will not let me change it back. I'm so annoyed having spent so much time trying to find out how to do one simple thing I am thinking about leaving Wikipedia altogether. Good luck with finding a cure cos nothing seems to be helping me!
Try going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences?useskin=monobook (or equivalent) and see if you can change it from there. It should still be changeable without that, though . . .

WORKSFORME. Can switch between all skins (including reported MySkin) without any problems. Issues with the tabs must've been sorted out a long time ago.
