I was looking at section 3: "Changing the interface".

Oh, I see.  Then what I read on MediaWiki's site does not apply.  Sorry.

Perhaps changing the look of the Pipmak just to give it a Pipmak look is not a 
wise decision, as portability may be reduced in the process.  Now would 
probably be good time to mention that the left navigation/tool bar on the 
Pipmak wiki does not render properly for me: it is placed after the rest of 
the content on the page, but still on the left side.
