Setup of a MediaWiki

Each done for:

• bnw.bnwiki.org
• de.bnwiki.org
• en.bnwiki.org
• data.bnwiki.org
• sandbox.bnwiki.org

And before that:

• bnwiki.de
• bnw.bnwiki.de
• de.bnwiki.de
• data.bnwiki.de

Changes to LocalSettings.php

Logo

## The URL paths to the logo.  Make sure you change this from the default,
## or else you'll overwrite your logo when you upgrade!
$wgLogos = [
	'1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/change-your-logo.svg",
	'1x' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/WikiLogo.png",
	'icon' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/change-your-logo.svg",
	'icon' => "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/WikiLogo.png",
];

• Upload under /resources/assets/WikiLogo.png for each Wiki
  • Idea: Can all of them link to the same file?
• This changed from an svg to a png - might be worth getting a WikiLogo.png Not quite working.

Images

## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
## is writable, then set this to true:
$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgEnableUploads = false;

• Allow the usage of images: Set file attributes for the 'images' directory from '750' to '755'. Use FTP, potentially FileZilla, to access the files.

Language

# Site language code, should be one of the list in ./includes/languages/data/Names.php
$wgLanguageCode = "de";
$wgLanguageCode = "en";
