Frequently Asked Questions

edit] How do I change default user preferences?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
The MediaWiki default user preferences are in the language file, i.e. languages/Language.php if you're using English. Don't edit that file, just use it for reference, like you do with DefaultSettings.php. Say if you want to change the default number of search results on a page. Language.php says: /* private */ $wgDefaultUserOptionsEn = array( ... 'searchlimit' => 20, ... ) To change it to 50, put this in your LocalSettings.

edit] How do I change the name of the default administrator?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
Instead of changing the name of the administrator, create a new user with the desired name, and assign sysop privileges to that user with Special:Userrights (1.5 and later), or Special:Makesysop (pre-1.5). If this is to be your primary account on the wiki, you may want to consider assigning the bureaucrat privilege as well.

edit] How do I change a user's password?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
Assuming that $wgPasswordSalt is set to true (the default), you can use the following SQL query: UPDATE user SET user_password = MD5(CONCAT(user_id, '-', MD5('somepass'))) WHERE user_name = 'someuser'; Where obviously "somepass" is changed to the password you want to set and "someuser" is changed to the user name as it is listed in the table "user".

edit] How do I change the default skin for users that are not logged in?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
Set $wgDefaultSkin = 'monobook'; in LocalSettings.php (see example). Make sure that the quoted skin is in lowercase in the LocalSettings.php file (ie: 'monobook', not 'MonoBook') regardless of how the skin name is actually capitalized. Note: As always, first ensure that you're not viewing a cached page - perform a "hard refresh", clear the browser cache, or view a page that didn't exist before the change.) There was a bug in versions of MediaWiki prior to 1.3.

edit] How do I change messages of the user interface?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
The user interface text is put into pages in the special MediaWiki namespace. When logged in as a sysop, you can edit those pages to immediately change the output of the wiki. Some configuration changes (like changing $wgSitename to set the wiki's name) don't affect the pages which were generated at install time. You can edit them directly, or use the "rebuildMessages.php" script in the maintenance directory (it must be run from the command line and you must set up an AdminSettings.php file).
