    • $wgScriptPath = "/{retiredWiki}"
    • $wgArticlePath = "/{retiredWiki}/$1"
    • Comment out this line to enable search robots on article pages:
    $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    ==>
    #$wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    • Comment out Google analytics in rally360 skin. (Leave its variables alone.)

In /{newWiki}

  1. Edit LocalSettings.php:
    • $wgScriptPath = "/{newWiki}"
    • $wgArticlePath = "/{newWiki}/$1"
    • Uncomment this line to disable search robots on article pages:
    #$wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    ==>
    $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    • Uncomment Google analytics in rally360 skin. (Leave its variables alone.)

In /apache_config:

  1. Edit mediawiki.conf_new
