            Bug ID: 68777
           Summary: Installer should add a comment to LocalSettings.php
                    urging that database settings be moved out of webroot
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.24-git
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Database
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
       Web browser: ---
   Mobile Platform: ---

Currently, the installer just adds, e.g.

## Database settings
$wgDBtype = "mysql";
$wgDBserver = "localhost";
$wgDBname = "testwiki";
$wgDBuser = "root";
$wgDBpassword = "foo";

The comment could say, e.g.,

## Database settings (for security reasons, these should be moved out of
webroot; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Securing_database_passwords
)
