Dear All,
I now have a working MediaWiki installation and have started customising it for our site. However, the developer docs seem somewhat sparse and there are a few changes I need to make. Not to be deterred I decided to have a bit of a hack around, and grepped through the source code for the items of interest. This yielded two possible files in which I could make changes:
{mediawikidir}/languages/Language.php {mediawikidir}/templates/xhtml_slim.pt
So, anyway I tried changing "Main page" to something else ("Welcome" as it goes), in both places, refreshed the front page in my browser and.... well, basically nothing appeared to happen. I also tried to change the left-hand menu text (Community portal) etc with the same result.
Obviously I'm missing something, but I'd be extremely grateful if somebody could tell me what that is.
Many thanks, Bart
