Many Linux distributions provide MediaWiki in a packaged format for that distro. These packages typically contain obsolete & unsupported versions of MediaWiki; they also like to move around & change files, & do other super-counterproductive things. You'll get the best support here if you install MediaWiki directly from one of our tarballs - https://www.mediawiki.org/ - or Git https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git
