How do I configure the whitelist for MediaWiki?

Question

So I got stuck maintaining a MediaWiki while the person who set it up is away, and I know nothing about it, not even where its stored on the server (though I suspect in the wamp/www folder). I was asked to add a few pages to the whitelist so they could be viewed without logging in. I found the MediaWiki manual page on whitelist, but it doesn't say where to put that snippet of code. Which file(s) gets that treatment?

Answer 1

You need to find out where your MediaWiki installation is and then add the pages that you want to the end of the LocalSettings.php file like this:

$wgWhitelistRead[] = "Page_name";
$wgWhitelistRead[] = "Another_page_name";
