 * MediaWiki User's Guide

The MediaWiki system is made up of many different parts. Once you have installed each of the components, you need to configure them to work together.

Configuring MediaWiki
The main configuration files for the MediaWiki software are AdminSettings.php, LocalSettings.php, and Language.php. Once the wiki is up, logged-in users can configure their personal settings via the preferences page.
