→Why i should run my own MediaWiki
* If you follow this step by step instruction, it will take you 10-15min to have your own MediaWiki up and running
== Why i should run my own MediaWiki ==
* You are independent
* You can add plugins and extensions that you need and want
* You decide where the data is stored
* You can adapt it to your needs
== Used tools ==
* Webbrowser
# Create in the wiki directory the directory called: temp
# Upload the unpacked MediaWiki files in the directory
# Navigate to "includes/libs/filebackend/fsfile/" and replace the TempFSFile.php with this file: [http://%5Bhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1o4Fn71CpHh5cmFKvggdrEBbBhLVtJyBG/view?usp=sharing TempFSFile.php]'''You have to do that BEFORE you start the Setup at the server!!!!!'''
# Open in your webbrowser YOUR bplaced.net address, followed by /wiki (or whatever you have choosen before)
# Follow the setup navigation
# Check your installation, if all is working as expected<br>
<br>
= Make it shiny and nice =
== Change the default editor ==
# By default, the mediawiki comes with a very puristic editor. To enable the little more modern one, add this to your LocalSettings.php:<br>
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| wfLoadExtension( 'WikiEditor' );<br>
$wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar'] = 1;
|}
== Mobile Frontend ==
Mediawiki has a great frontend for mobile devices, which is NOT in the default setup. To make a better mobile frontend working, follow this steps:<br>
# [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:SkinDistributor/MinervaNeue Download] (unpack) and place the file(s) in a directory called MinervaNeue in your skins/ folder.
# [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/MobileFrontend Download] (unpack) the Mobile Extention files and upload them to the folder MobileFrontend in your folder extensions/
# Add this to your LocalSettings.php:<br>
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| wfLoadExtension( 'MobileFrontend' );<br>
$wgMFAutodetectMobileView = true;<br>
wfLoadSkin( 'MinervaNeue' );<br>
$wgMFDefaultSkinClass = 'SkinMinerva'; // use Minerva skin
