# MediaWiki

MediaWiki is the wiki software that powers Wikipedia. It provides a full-featured collaborative wiki with a rich extension ecosystem.

## Dependencies

- **MySQL** - Database for storing wiki content
- **SMTP** - For email notifications and password resets

## Configuration

Key settings in `config.yaml`:

- **domain** - Where MediaWiki will be accessible
- **storage** - Persistent volume size (default: `2Gi`)
- **siteName** - Name of your wiki (default: `My Wiki`)
- **adminUser** - Admin account username (default: `admin`)

## First-Time Setup

MediaWiki requires a **web-based installer** after deployment to generate `LocalSettings.php`.

1. Add and deploy the app:
   ```bash
   wild app add mediawiki
   wild app deploy mediawiki
   ```

2. Visit `/mw-config/` to run the web installer.

3. In the installer:
   - Database type: **MySQL**
   - Database host: value of `db.host` from your config
   - Database name: value of `db.name` (default: `mediawiki`)
   - Database user/password: from your config and `secrets.yaml`
   - Admin username/password: set to the values in your config and `secrets.yaml`

4. At the end of the installer, download `LocalSettings.php` and copy it into the pod:
   ```bash
   kubectl cp LocalSettings.php mediawiki/<pod-name>:/var/www/html/LocalSettings.php
   ```

5. The wiki is now live.

## Notes

- The `secretKey` and `upgradeKey` are auto-generated in `secrets.yaml`
- Extensions can be installed by copying them into the pod's `/var/www/html/extensions/` directory
- The wiki will show a "maintenance mode" page until `LocalSettings.php` is in place
