Manual:Configuring MediaWiki/en

Basic configuration
When you first install MediaWiki, you should run the supplied configuration script via your web browser. This will perform the basic configuration required to get the wiki up and running. See $config for full details running the script.

Further configuration
Once the wiki has been installed and configured using the above configuration script, any further customizations need to be made by configuring Special:MyLanguage/Manual:LocalSettings.php

For help with more advanced technical configuration, see Manual:System administration and Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Administrators.

For a brief overview that addresses certain empty pages, see Page customizations.
