Description Ryan Kaldari 2012-02-16 02:57:06 UTC 
When I installed MediaWiki 1.18.1 on a 3rd party server, I got the following scary error message:
"Warning: You have selected MyISAM as storage engine for MySQL, which is not recommended..."
even though I was never given the option to choose between MyISAM and InnoDB. This is confusing.

See related Bug 28669.
Comment 1 Chad H. 2012-02-16 19:54:51 UTC 
I guess this could happen if you have MyISAM available but not InnoDB--but I kinda feel sorry for anybody in such a boat ;-)
Comment 2 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-02-24 11:14:07 UTC 
So that works as intended. Maybe we should rephrase the warning message whenever someone did not have a choice :-D
Comment 3 Karun 2012-12-19 12:59:38 UTC 
Perhaps we should only show this warning message on servers with InnoDB available? Or add an additional message saying InnoDB is currently not available.
Comment 4 Chad H. 2012-12-19 13:15:55 UTC 
We can show a (slightly) different message if we're using MyISAM and InnoDB isn't available--it might not be the user's fault. The warning still needs to convey that if you're using MyISAM, you should absolutely try to change it if you can.
