Currently the siteinfo API's skins output uses the value of the relevant $wgValidSkinNames entry. However this is not really a skin name at all. It's a key used to determine the class name of the class that implements the skin. * Right now that means names like "CologneBlue" instead of "Cologne Blue". * If someone implements a skin system that uses a single class and simple templates for each skin that means you'll start seeing completely useless names like "FooSkinSystem" for "This is my skin", "That is his skin", and "She made this skin" names. * If one of my other changes gets merged you may also start seeing things like "{ThisIsMyClassName}". We should start outputting the English i18n for the skin instead of this.
