Manual talk:$wgDBname

wgDBname in JavaScript?
Why is this variable saved in a javascript variable?


 * Some scripts use it to identify the wiki on a wiki farm, which is usually more "id-friendly" than a complete domain name, subdomain, etc. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:59, 18 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Wow, there are much saver ways to do something like that. Using the 'real' database name shouldn't be visible to the public tbh. --YOUR1 (talk) 12:26, 18 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Displaying the database name has no security nor privacy implications IMHO --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 21:09, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
