+Users (well, administrators) run a script to create a wiki, this symlinks
+index.php (which is in /usr/share) to the directory the user provided, and
+creates a config directory where mediawiki will put the config file it
+generates. So the website's wiki dir only contains a few symlinks, a
+config file and an images dir (the config dir should be removed after
+configuration, this is standard mediawiki practice).
+
+&gt;&gt;<i> I got it working on mageia cauldron after fixing installation for
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> postgresql databases, but my package is not finished: I didn't check yet if
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> anything should be merged from the mageia/mandriva package, and I had to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> configure the apache side manually, while I would expect some parts to be
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> preconfigured.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Yes. However, it should not prevent using the package with something
+</I>&gt;<i> else than apache, or with different settings.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Maybe this config can be done by a subpackage ?
+</I>
+It has documentation in /etc/httpd/conf.d/mediawiki.conf which can be
+uncommented or copy/pasted into some other config file. Maybe it just
+needs to be moved to /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/mediawiki.conf where I
+think the mandriva config file was.
