But it seems like that was a bad idea, especially if one wants two instances on the same mysql server... which I discovered I do want.
You have, I think, the info you need to create a table within the local Wiki database. $wgDBserver, $wgDBname, $wgDBuser and $wgDBpassword gets you into the database and
$wgDBprefix
will tell you which unique DB prefix is used for multiple wikis. Therefore, you can create a table with the name of $wgDBprefix.tableEditTableName and even if the user has two instances in the same MySQL, it will not conflict.
