LocalSettings.php

Add these settings:

$wgLogo="mylogo.png";
$wgFavicon="favicon.ico";
$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ppt', 'pdf', 'doc', 'psd', 'mp3','xls', 'zip','swf', 'doc', 'odt', 'odc', 'odp', 'odg', 'mpp', 'pub');
require_once( $IP.'/extensions/Cite/Cite.php' );
require_once( $IP.'/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php');

Change these settings:

$wgRightsPage = "MediaWiki:Copyright";
$wgEnableUploads=true;

Other guidelines

• The logo must be 135x135
• favicon.ico must be 32x32
• Set it to permission 600.

Other steps

• Change skins -> MonoBook.php to get rid of the extraneous stuff (privacy policy, about, disclaimer)
• MediaWiki:Copyright -> All content on this website is hereby released into the public domain.

• MediaWiki:Talkpagetext ->

<div id="talkpagetext" class="plainlinks metadata" style="margin: 0 0 1em; padding: .5em 1em; vertical-align: middle; border: solid #aaaaaa 1px">This is a talk page. Please remember to sign your posts by typing four tildes (<tt style="background: white;">~~~~</tt>).</div>

• Create the index.html file:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=/wiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page">

(Or whatever)
