Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release:        18.04

mediawiki:
  Installed: 1:1.27.4-3
  Candidate: 1:1.27.4-3
  Version table:
 *** 1:1.27.4-3 500
        500 http://us-west-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe 
amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Based on where the symlinks included in the package point, settings
placed in: /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php should over ride default
settings.

So Creating /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php with mode 640 that has only
this line in it: $wgLogo             =
"https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/904380/screenshots/2233565/revised-
google-logo.gif"

and saving it. Should, after clearing the browser cache, show a new
image for the wiki, instead of the default.

This is not the current behaviour, hence the bug.

As a side note, after installing the package on ubuntu no documentation
is displayed to the user, based on my googling today, it looks like
LocalSettings.php used to have a generator, as part of the install
process, and that has gone away. The new install process with out that
feels like it isn't documented well, and this may just be a
documentation issue.
