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.

Please see my  mail to the administrator:

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.

Liebe Grüße,

Comment 1 Rob Church 2005-12-06 12:22:43 UTC 
I didn't think the "myskin" dummy skin was installed on Wikimedia?
Comment 2 Rob Church 2005-12-06 12:23:06 UTC 
Hmm. So it is. Perhaps that should change.
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2005-12-06 23:43:35 UTC 
'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.
Comment 4 Helmut Hahn 2005-12-08 19:51:07 UTC 
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

Which of the following were you unable to complete?

* Clicking the Preferences link
* Selecting the Skin tab
* Selecting a different skin
* Saving the preferences

Skin tab* Selecting a different skin* Saving the preferences

It was the "Selecting the Skin tab"

other tabs of the prefrences were clickable

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.
