           Summary: --wiki works only for wizards and Wikipedia
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Maintenance scripts
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


It seems the --wiki switch on maintenance scripts, which is supposed to be
intended for wiki farms with the use of $wgConf->wikis to update individual
wikis doesn't work at all.

After several tests of this with my own farm, I have reached the conclusion
that whatever you try, the maintenance will always default to your default wiki
for some reason.  And it is hardly obvious how it even gets to that, even when
forcing it through several localsettings modified specifically to only include
*one* $wgDBname.

I realise that it was originally written for Wikipedia, but apparently, I
guess, Wikipedia got all the cheat codes and holds all the cards, because it
surely works in their end and not here.  Even when looking closely at their
InitialiseSettings.php script and copying their format, no results.
