Bug Description

Binary package hint: mediawiki

When setting up a new installation of mediawiki, there usually is a little box somewhere on the bottom of http://$mwIP/config/ to specify a table prefix (mediawiki uses the $wgDBprefix variable for that). I don't see that when I create a new site on a hardy host running the latest 1.11.2-2ubuntu0.3 package. Confirmations welcome.

I was able to confirm this to be a regression from the security release. 1.11.2-2 still works fine.

I installed the earlier releases in hardy and verified that this was still fine in 1.11.2-2ubuntu0.2. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/mediawiki_1:1.11.2-2ubuntu0.2_1:1.11.2-2ubuntu0.3.diff.gz is the relevant debdiff.

Found the regression; i'll see if it can be fixed together with the newest security-upload in progress in bug 537974.
