Help:System files/LocalSettings.php

The file LocalSettings.php is a vital file for the configuration of the wiki. It is located in the wiki's root.

The idea is that all settings for the local wiki (that can not be set by the MediaWiki namespace) is made in tis file.

No editing should be made in other wiki system files unless you really know what you are doing!!

The file DefaultSettings.php is loaded just before this file, and defines a basic setup of parameters that can/will be altered in LocalSettings.php.
