if ( !$wgLocalFileRepo ) { if ( isset( ['deleted']['hash'] ) ) { $deletedHashLevel = ['deleted']['hash']; } else { $deletedHashLevel = ? 3 : 0;    }     $wgLocalFileRepo = array(         'class' => 'LocalRepo',         'name' => 'local',         'directory' =>,         'scriptDirUrl' => ,         'scriptExtension' => ,         'url' =>  ?  .  : ,         'hashLevels' =>  ? 2 : 0,         'thumbScriptUrl' => ,         'transformVia404' => !,         'deletedDir' => ,         'deletedHashLevels' => $deletedHashLevel     ); }
