Description Nathan Larson 2014-07-29 00:31:07 UTC 
Currently, the installer just adds, e.g.

## Database settings
$wgDBtype = "mysql";
$wgDBserver = "localhost";
$wgDBname = "testwiki";
$wgDBuser = "root";
$wgDBpassword = "foo";

The comment could say, e.g.,

## Database settings (for security reasons, these should be moved out of webroot; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Securing_database_passwords )
