Created a new logo image file with width= 135px by height= 135px. Saved the image as Ecos.png. Uploaded the image in wiki with use of normal file uploading interface. This allows the logo to be replaced easily. Protect the image page.

Modify the $wgLogo line in LocalSettings.php. I could use:

$wgLogos = [ '1x' => "{$wgScriptPath}/images/7/77/Ecos.png" ];

or

$wgLogo = "{$wgScriptPath}/images/7/77/Ecos.png";

Renaming user see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Renameuser, add to LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadExtension( 'Renameuser' );

Using a MediaWiki installation to document internal systems where i’m currently at, and although we all have users it’s easy to forget to login before making edits. This results in a history full of IP addresses rather than names, which is a bit less useful. So, to prevent us from forgetting to login we decided to force ourselves to log in by disabling anonymous edits. You do that by adding the following to your LocalSettings.php.

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
