It is also arguably easier to understand for non-tech users to navigate to the "mw-config" directory compared to the "installer.php" file (though that's a minor difference, if any). There's also an overrides.php file and an mw-config/index.php5 file. If it were just "installer.php" it'd be equally easy to removed as the directory, but since there three files, (one of which depends on another, so if you'd just remove installer.php then you're left in an unclean state where hitting installer.php5 will cause an internal server error clogging the php error log). … which brings up for how much longer we should keep that *.php5 stuff around… But before more bike shedding (have we had enough these last 2 months yet?), is there a problem with having a directory? -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
