Our MediaWiki instances are installed from git to allow easy rebasing of our changes on upgrades.

For the full details on this installation method, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git wiki-devel
The initial setup process (probably outdated now) lookd like this:
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git --branch REL1_34 wiki-devel
cd wiki-devel
cd wiki-devel
git submodule update --init
git submodule update --init

Checkout additional extensions we wish to enable. For ease of management, check them out into extensions-all and then symlink them from extensions/

You also need to update some dependencies using a PHP manager called 'composer':
composer update --no-dev

If the SemanticMediaWiki extension is enabled (we don't use it), also refresh its tables:
cd extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance
cd extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance
php SMW_setup.php
php SMW_setup.php
=== Skins ===
As of this writing, the default skin vector is integrated into MediaWiki, and we don't load other skins in LocalSettings.php.
The skins also need to be updated from time to time (particularly after a major release). Instead of checking out hundreds od skins using the official process, we refresh only the skins that are installed:
cd skins
for i in MonoBook Timeless; do
(cd $i && git fetch && git checkout -b REL1_34 origin/REL1_34)
done
=== Creating a Local Labs wiki ===
* Add a group for the wiki (vigr)
cd /srv/www-sugarlabs
cp -a co.sugarlabs.org pe.sugarlabs.org
chown -R icarito:sugarwiki-pe pe.sugarlabs.org
cd pe.sugarlabs.org/wiki
rm -r images/*
vim LocalSettings.php
vim SecretSettings.php
* Create apache virtual host:
cp -a /etc/apache2/sites-available/pe.sugarlabs.org /etc/apache2/sites-available/ar.sugarlabs.org
vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/ar.sugarlabs.org
a2ensite ar.sugarlabs.org
* Create DB with some clever trick. I reused <code>config/index.php</code> to setup a new MediaWiki instance and then I've thrown away the generated <code>LocalConfig.php</code>:
mv LocalConfig.php LocalConfig.good
cp -a /srv/www-sugarlabs/co.sugarlabs.org/config .
(go to http://ar.sugarlabs.org/wiki/config/index.php)
rm -r config LocalConfig.php
mv LocalConfig.good LocalConfig.php
* Create tables for OpenID:
mysql -u root -p pe_sugarlabswiki < extensions/OpenID/openid_table.sql
