Hi there,
I am the one who started this section
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:$wgStylePath#This_is_fucked_up
I installed MediaWiki recently, and I am very confused by these purported
"default" values. While I would welcome a (re)introduction of $wgLogo in
LocalSettings.php, I suspect that this would not solve the root cause of the
confusion.
I think the key problem is that sometimes what is documented as "default value"
of some variables does not correspond to the value of those variables in
LocalSettings.php, which is what I (and apparently many other people) expected.
So, for example, it is confusing to document that the default value of
$wgStylePath is "{$wgScriptPath}/skins", because this is not (yet?) the case in
LocalSettings.php, unless one explicitly assigns that value to the variable.
I really hope that either this gets "fixed" or the documentation is clarified.
Thank you.
