Hi,

This is an informational message for users of MediaWiki-Docker.

We just merged a change[0] to Mediawiki-Docker's working directory. This change was made in order to support rest.php[1]. It also makes use of a new docker image that fixes issues with loading pages with slashes in VisualEditor[2].

As a result of this change, your existing LocalSettings.php file may point to the wrong database directory. Although there is a script that should update it automatically for you[3], you can take a look at the DEVELOPERS.md troubleshooting section in core if you happen to run into an issue connecting to your database.
