[Mediawiki-l] Default path settings

[Steve VanSlyck]

This issue was raised last there. Someone wrote in with a very nice email about some things need to be put in LocalSettings.php if for no other purpose than helping newbies learn. Logo path was one of these that should not have been droped from LocalSettings.php because it has to be explained over and over and over again, as this message thread shows.
