Thread:Project:Support desk/Guides are to hard to understand for new / unexperanced users

for example installation Quick installation guide

For experienced users only, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to read the more detailed version, below.

1. Check that your system meets the minimum requirements (web server, PHP5 (do not use 5.3.1), and either MySQL4 (and later) or PostgreSQL 8.1 (and later)). 2. Download MediaWiki (direct link to latest version) and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server. 3. Point your browser to the config directory (e.g., http://localhost/mediawiki/config/index.php). 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in any doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions below. that does not make sence to me, how do i get to http://localhost/mediawiki/config/index.php my browser says it cant connect to it

and the making "/wiki/" is to long and complacted to read for a new user. please make a "plain english" version so that new users can understand that they need to do
