Poncho is a skin for MediaWiki that features:

  • Clean, responsive and modern layout
  • Fixed header and table of contents
  • Breadcrumbs integrated to the title
  • Dark mode
  • Read mode
  • Compact page actions
  • Categories styled like tags
  • Prominent print button to encourage offline use (can be hidden via CSS)

  • Google Translate button (can be hidden via CSS)

It also has a few limitations:
