[Mediawiki-l] Re: MediaWiki 1.2.2 release

I just installed the 1.2.2 release, and everything went reasonably 
well. I used the update.php script. However, I did notice one thing 
that appears to be a bug. The $wgAllMessagesEn array includes values 
for "sitesupport" and "sitesupportpage," and the instructions say 
that if "sitesupportpage" is not set, the donations link "won't 
appear." The problem is that it didn't appear even when I DID set 
"sitesupportpage" to the URL of our donations page.

I was able to get it working by adding the following line to LocalSettings.php:

$wgSiteSupportPage = 
"https://www.groundspring.org/donate/index.cfm?ID=2344-0|1118-0";

I figured this out by noticing that inside DefaultSettings.php, there 
is a line that reads:

$wgSiteSupportPage = "";

This should do something more intelligent, such as setting 
$wgSiteSupportPage to the value of "sitesupportpage," shouldn't it?
