Beyond deleting the wiki directory, I presume that I just need
to drop all the MediaWiki MySQL tables.
Is there a reference script to do this anywhere? (My searches
haven't turned one up, nor any specific instruction for a complete
MediaWiki uninstall/wipe.)
If you don't have any other tables in the database, you can just drop
the whole thing, such as:
DROP DATABASE wikidb;
If you do have other things you want to save in there, you can drop each
table individually:
USE wikidb;
DROP TABLE cur;
DROP TABLE old;
etc
The list of table definitions is in maintenance/tables.sql, or you can
just do a SHOW TABLES and kill the ones you don't recognize from
something else.
