I disagree. For a low traffic site, its probably performant enough with just APC caching, which the installer sets up for you. Vanilla mediawiki does the things you expect a wiki to do. I doubt these types of users want/need complex things like abuse filter and lua. (Unless you are copying templates from wikipedia) The major thing out of the box mw is missing is confirm edit. The other stuff is cool but non-essential imo. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
