Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04
mediawiki:
Installed: 1:1.27.4-3
Candidate: 1:1.27.4-3
Version table:
*** 1:1.27.4-3 500
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
Based on where the symlinks included in the package point, settings placed in: /etc/mediawiki/
So Creating /etc/mediawiki/
and saving it. Should, after clearing the browser cache, show a new image for the wiki, instead of the default.
This is not the current behaviour, hence the bug.
As a side note, after installing the package on ubuntu no documentation is displayed to the user, based on my googling today, it looks like LocalSettings.php used to have a generator, as part of the install process, and that has gone away. The new install process with out that feels like it isn't documented well, and this may just be a documentation issue.

Uhh, that won't work. You first need to install MediaWiki, typically by localhost/ mediawiki/>), which
going through the web installer (<http://
will generate a LocalSettings.php for you to save into /etc/mediawiki/,
and *then* you can modify the logo.

What/where did you expect documentation to be available? The package doc/mediawiki, including
already installs documentation to /usr/share/
README.Debian, which explains the briefly explains the install process.
