Caution
  • Do not change $wgDBname after Setup.php has been included. Note: Setup.php initializes various paths, includes some common files, starts sessions, and performs various other setup tasks for a request. It is not related to the installation or setup of MediaWiki.
  • Only files in include/db/ should use $wgDBname, everything else should use the getDBname() method provided by the DatabaseBase class.
