The page at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family says "Install MediaWiki and additional tools as usual to a version- declaring subdirectory(e.g., /home/web/mediawiki/mediawiki-1.10.0)." I had my eye on a permitting a wiki family at one stage and so will have seen this reference then as I sought to build a family-friednly first installation. > In any event, you should move everything so that MediaWiki is at > /var/www/mediawiki (or just /var/www/w; > seehttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL#Recommended_how-to_gui... > ). Will do. Not sure if this makes wiki family development trickier later but I'm keen to get the first onto the latest version as a higher priority now.

Sounds simplest to create it. I've not looked at it so far, but will now. Thanks very much for this.
