That would be a typo. I meant "skin pages".

What does the {\FullName} do? Also, I assume the reason we can't sue 
$SkinDir is because we need the internal server path rather than the 
http:// style path?

Ah, that's the key -- ordering the wikilib directories for precedence.

It does thanks. I'll add some of this to the wiki.
