- What template to import ?
- What JS / CSS to import ?
At the moment the major difficulty is about processing not the install, neither the configuration, but the first-level-content import. MediaWiki lacks of a full-packed Dump, with minor template such as {{!}} and minor js and css such as gadget scripts.--almaghi 15:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
We should stick with MediaWiki's naming convensions for built-in accounts
[edit]We really shouldn't use super-user; maybe use wiki-administrator?
--Ryan lane 15:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Wiki-administrator with SSH-ftp access. --almaghi 19:06, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Installation instructions should be pulled out of this document
[edit]We should point to MediaWiki's installation instructions instead of writing them here. The installation instructions may change over time, and this document will fall out of date.

Do not recommend web-based maintenance extensions
[edit]Extensions like Maintenance and MaintenanceShell (the latter of which isn't even in MW subversion) are horribly unsupported and liable to break. Especially with the pending maintenance-work branch, these extensions will cease to even work as-is. Suggest removal of all suggestions to use these. ^demon 15:37, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ok. See also User:^demon/maintenance-work. --almaghi 17:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Moreover FTP should be dead dead dead dead dead. SSH works fine, is secure (connection) and lets them run maintenance scripts. – Nikerabbit 15:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- So let's switch to wikipedia:SSH file transfer protocol.--almaghi 17:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
OpenSearchXml?
[edit]Does this extension even need to be installed anymore, or is this supported in core (I could've sworn it was...) ^demon 20:01, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure in all newer versions of MediaWiki this is built in.
--Ryan lane 21:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC)- Ok. Indeed there's this file opensearch_desc.php into phase3, but is it into 1.15 release notes, neither phase3 release notes yet. I let it at the moment. almaghi 12:14, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Enterprise Bundle
[edit]Great work on this! I'm wonder, is there a MediaWiki Enterprise Bundle, along the same lines as Semantic Bundle? - Borofkin 11:05, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- Not really. There's OmCollab, a bundle with MediaWiki, Wordpress, bookmarks and forum. (See also: MediaWiki LocalSettings on OmCollab installation)
Possible Typo
[edit]Hi there. Just been following instructions on industrializing our MW installation. The line:
$wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math";
Gave me problems. This is the 'default value' as set in setup.php, and uses the default value of $wgUploadPath. If neither of these are overriden, these are both 'false' at the point Localsettings.php is read. However if you just define $wgMathPath, then $wgUploadPath does not make sense at the time of the expansion, and LaTex fails to render (just the alt-text is displayed). As your line is the default, I would recommend leaving it out (as I have done successfully), rather than defining $wgUploadPath too. However I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable than me to decide what's best.
