If your purpose is to hide the information from potential attackers, you should probably start from the API: https://bucardo.org/bucardowiki/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general

Thanks, Federico, I will add something to modify things via the APIQuerySiteInfoGeneralInfo hook in a future version. Until then, $wgEnableAPI = false; is the quick fix. :)
