From <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt>: --- <?php /** * vim: set sw=4 ts=4 noet foldmarker=@{,@} foldmethod=marker: * - recognize folding markers just like DefaultSettings.php * You need to use 'set modeline' to activate this feature. * za to toggle a fold * zA to toggle folds recursively * zR to open them all * zM close all folds */ # When editing Devanagari text, some editor/terminal combinations (vim + # xterm/kconsole) cause problems.

Do not put private data here. --- I'm not sure most of this needed, but my main concern is the revision number, as I think it's misleading. It doesn't seem to be used any longer. The line below can also probably go. A general examination of the intro would be good.
You can propose a change. It's in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=operations/mediawiki-config.git;a=summary . I think the "öäü" falls under "better safe than sorry" (most editors these days should handle it, but no real reason to take it out). I agree the "rev" is useless.
Can we get rid of the human instructions on how to use vim? Surely those who use vim will know how to use it. And most of us don't use such things anyway. It would be nice to put a notice saying what the file actually is. What distinguishes it from CommonSettings.php? What can be put in it (presumably any $wgX config variable known by MW)?
Why is this assigned to me? I don't know what I'm doing.

(In reply to comment #2) > presumably any $wgX config variable known by MW)? And arbitrary variables who trigger a configuration logic in CommonsSettings.php. > What distinguishes it from CommonSettings.php? InitialiseSettings.php describes the configuration, CommonsSettings.php includes the needed extensions and configures them when needed, based on the InitialiseSettings.php content.
OK, I give in. It bugs me every time I go in to change a setting...
