Change the name of the wiki

It is possible to change the name of your wiki post-installation using the steps below.

Basic name change
The basic name used for the wiki is determined by $wgSitename, defined in LocalSettings.php. Edit this to change the basic name, for instance:

Project namespace
The project namespace can also be modified post-install. By default, this is the value of $wgSitename, although you could choose a shorter or different name. To do this, override the value of $wgMetaNamespace in LocalSettings.php, for instance:

Tagline
The tagline can be edited either in the language files, or through the MediaWiki namespace. Using the latter method, the edit MediaWiki:Tagline and amend the existing text as required.

Note: Editing the MediaWiki namespace will only have an effect if $wgUseDatabaseMessages is set to. This is the default.
