Thanks for the guide! Just a few things:
- Several links are broken in your preview, check out https://deploy-preview-1758--uberlab.netlify.app/guide_mediawiki/
- Please install directly into the DocumentRoot, not into https://.uber.space/mediawiki-1.41.1
@nichtmax I corrected one broken link, but couldn't see any others! What am I missing? 🙈 I don't understand your second point. The guide asked users to change into the document root, and install to there. |

I can't edit your commit directly, otherwise I would have made the small changes by myself
With installation into the document root we mean no /mediawiki-1.41.1
in the URL.

Please add --strip-components=1
to your tar command, then the installation will be in the document root without any sub folder like /mediawiki-1.41.1

When the graphical installation completes, locally download the ``LocalSettings.php`` that should have been automatically generated and transfer it to ``~/html/mediawiki-1.41.1`` on your Uberspace. This can be achieved using one of the tools suggested on :manual:`SFTP <basics-SFTP>` with host ``sftp://<UberspaceUsername>.uber.space`` and your Uberspace credentials. |

Hey @nichtmax I hope that's OK now! |
Thank you! please get in touch via hallo@uberspace.de for your goodie from goddies.uberspace.de |
This is an initial draft for a MediaWiki installation. I see now the contributing guidelines suggest opening an issue first... sorry I didn't do that. (There is now #1759 😅)
I wrote it as I puzzled my way through, but then went through from the beginning again to check it all worked.
Advanced configuration, updates and backups not included.
