Current configuration on the wiki
When $wgPingback is true, MediaWiki will periodically ping https://www.mediawiki.org/beacon with basic information about the local MediaWiki installation. This data includes, for example, the type of system, PHP version, and chosen database backend. The pingback is sent via a deferred (post-send) update whenever $wgVersion changes, using the updatelog table to ensure we don't send duplicate pingbacks. A database lock ensures only one thread attempts to send the pingback, and a cache key throttles attempts to no more than once per hour. $wgPingback is false by default. The web installer has a checkbox for controlling this option, and it is checked by default. This nudges new installs to turn on pingbacks, but does not sneak this decision past sysops of existing installs. Change-Id: Ie43a6b46a07ebd9ccc1b9c3001f2ea02435d826b |

== MediaWiki == MediaWiki is a free and open-source wiki software package written in PHP. It serves as the platform for Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, used by hundreds of millions of people each month. MediaWiki is localised in over 350 languages and its reliability and robust feature set have earned it a large and vibrant community of third-party users and developers. MediaWiki is: * feature-rich and extensible, both on-wiki and with hundreds of extensions; * scalable and suitable for both small and large sites; * simple to install, working on most hardware/software combinations; and * available in your language. For system requirements, installation, and upgrade details, see the files RELEASE-NOTES, INSTALL, and UPGRADE. * Ready to get started? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download * Looking for the technical manual? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Contents * Seeking help from a person? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Communication * Looking to file a bug report or a feature request? ** https://bugs.mediawiki.org/ * Interested in helping out? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute MediaWiki is the result of global collaboration and cooperation.
