           Summary: Allow maint scripts to accept DB user/pass over input or
                    params if no AdminSettings.php
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Maintenance scripts
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Rather than storing superuser credentials in AdminSettings.php, it might be
useful for some users to let the DB superuser user/password be prompted or
passed as parameters to maintenance scripts, like with 'mysql' command.

This could be slightly safer as well since the superuser credentials would not
be available for reading by the web scripts.
