			==Page titles==
			Sometimes you may want to change a page title without moving the page or changing its URL. There are two scenarios where I've found this useful.

			===Fixing case===
			MediaWiki capitalises titles, even if you're describing a proper noun that starts with a lowercase letter. Provided you're only changing the case, you can invoke the <code>DISPLAYTITLE</code> magic word to fix this:

			<NOWIKI>{{DISPLAYTITLE:illumos}}</NOWIKI>

			===Changing the title completely===
			We use [[Home]] as our wiki landing page so that URLs are cleaner. but we want the title of the page to be "Sasara Home". You can use the <code>DISPLAYTITLE</code> magic word here too, but you need to relax the parser rules first. Add or change this in your <code>LocalSettings.php</code>:

			$wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false;

New page

'''MediaWiki''' is the wiki software we used for Sasara.moe. Its derived from Wikimedia Foundation projects like Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

==Change homepage==
Update link on [[MediaWiki:Mainpage]] to point to the new target home page.

==Image uploads==

===Enabling uploads===

Open <code>LocalSettings.php</code>, and change this option:

$wgEnableUploads = true;

Make sure the <code>uploads</code> folder is writable by the web server process. We run ours in a separate zfs dataset with execution off and quotas for security:

zfs create $DATASET/wiki/uploads
zfs set exec=off $DATASET/wiki/uploads
zfs set quota=10G $DATASET/wiki/uploads

===Improve quality===

The default quality setting for image compression is <code>80</code>, which [[isn't great]].

Open <code>LocalSettings.php</code>, and add the following option under <code>wgEnableUploads</code>:

$wgJpegQuality = 96;

===Increasing size===

Open <code>php.ini</code>, and change this to what you want:

upload_max_filesize = 8M

If you run nginx, you may need to add this to your <code>nginx.conf</code> file to prevent '''HTTP 413 Entity Too Large''' errors:

http {
client_max_body_size 8M;
}
