use wfWikiID()

Any program that changes the filesystem must consider that it is not
alone.

In the following patch, we apply the lessons learned from
maintenance/generateSitemap.php .

Any less would spell disaster for
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family users.

As far as shared hosting situations that offer a mediawiki package
where there is actually only one copy for everybody, there still is
the worry that two users wfWikiID()'s might collide, but that is the
host's fault, not ours.

Marking as INVALID.

 Why?
 1. Of the thousands of operations on a running Mediawiki wiki, this is
 the only one that writes into the local filesystem instead of the
 database.


Because it's faster than using the database, and it's no big deal.

 What's wrong with that?
 1. It precludes using a read only filesystem. If it were not for this
 one little 14 byte file, one could use a read only filesystem.
 

If you're really trying to set this up rather than just spouting hypothetical
situations, then perhaps I can see the issue. Otherwise we'll end up debating
all day over an edge case no one actually has.

 2. One might have several wikis using the same files:
 radioscanningtw.jidanni.org - mediawiki-1.11.0
 taizhongbus.jidanni.org - mediawiki-1.11.0
 (yes, even the same LocalSettings.php, with appropriate switch()s
 inside it.) There is no way two wikis can use the same
 searchUpdate.pos.

You can specify a different position file if you absolutely must, see the docs
in the header of updateSearchIndex.php
