Scripts
=======

MediaWiki primary scripts are in the root directory of the software. Users
should only use these scripts to access the wiki. There are also some `.php` that
aren't primary scripts but helper files and won't work if they are accessed
directly by the web.

Primary scripts:
----------------

  - index.php

    Main access point. It handles the most of requests.
    See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Index.php>

  - api.php

    Script to provide an API for bots to fetch content and informations about
    the site and also modify it. See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API>
    for more information.

  - img_auth.php

    Script that only serve images to logged in users. To configure the wiki
    to use that script, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Authorisation>.

  - load.php

    Used by `ResourceLoader` to serve minified, concatenated and gzipped CSS and JS.

  - opensearch_desc.php

    Returns a OpenSearch description document (see <http://www.opensearch.org/>)
    that points to the search engines of the wiki.

  - thumb.php

    Script used to resize images if it is configured to be done when the web
    browser requests the image and not when generating the page. This script can
    be used as a 404 handler to generate image thumbs when they don't exist.
