Manual:Configuration settings (alphabetical)

Translate this page

This is an index of all supported configuration settings based on the MainConfigSchema.php (or DefaultSettings.php before MediaWiki 1.39) file.

Never edit MainConfigSchema.php; add appropriate lines to LocalSettings.php instead and amend them as appropriate.

This index is in alphabetical order (ignoring the $wg prefix). Note that the only setting without this prefix is $IP , which is listed under I.

Settings removed in versions of MediaWiki prior to 1.35 are no longer listed here. Please use the search box to find the relevant manual page (e.g. Manual:$wgAllowAnonymousMinor).
