Manual:$wgServer/ja

詳細
The base URL of the server, including protocol and without the trailing slash (eg, ). Since 1.18 MediaWiki also supports setting $wgServer to a protocol-relative URL (e.g., ). This is used for supporting both HTTP and HTTPS with the same caches by using links that work under both protocols. When doing this, can be used to set the full URL including protocol that will be used in locations such as emails that don't support protocol relative URLs.

This is used when producing fully-qualified URLs pointing to the wiki, for instance:
 * HTTP redirects on edit and to canonical URL spellings
 * print footer
 * links to articles from RSS/Atom feeds
 * and more!

HTTPS
If the URL starts with https://, MediaWiki will assume that your wiki prefers the HTTPS protocol or supports it exclusively.

自動検出
When $wgServer is not set, the default value is calculated automatically. Some web servers end up returning silly defaults or internal names which aren't what you want; for instance the ServerName directive in Apache's  may not be set or detected properly by the system, leaving you with an unexpected. It's always good to configure the web server properly. But you anyway are always strongly recommended to set $wgServer explicitly in your LocalSettings.php as there are other bugs that may arise from allowing it to be auto-detected, such as pollution of the MediaWiki cache.
