Ive changed settings in LocalSettings.php, such as $wgSitename, but they don show up in my browser. Why not?
(Note: As always, first ensure that you’re not viewing a cached page – perform a “hard refresh”, clear the browser cache, or view a page that didn’t exist before the change.) There was a bug in versions of MediaWiki prior to 1.3.6 where variables, such as $wgSitename, were interpolated into user interface messages at install, rather than when the message was requested (Bugzilla:296). The result was that any later changes to these variables would have no effect on these messages, since the software simply saw them as plain text; all UI messages can be reset to their defaults (with the new variable values) by running the maintenance/rebuildMessages.php script. If you upgrade to the latest version of MediaWiki first, these will include dynamic references to the variables (e.g. {{SITENAME}}) and should therefore reflect future configuration changes. Some language files incorrectly set $wgSitename to a local transliteration of “Wikipedia”. If this happens, you need to edit the language file
