Open Stack

It is using the openstack-infra's puppet-mediawiki module, and for first
sight this setting seems to be unmanaged by puppet. I not found any related
entries in system-config's wiki.pp. Would be great to ssh in, but just an
infra core have access for this instance. Maybe we could replace rlane's
account with mine, he is not maintaining the server as I know, but infra
reviewers used to refuse those changes. As I see this LocalSettings.php was
generated during the application installation process, but it could be
moved somehow to puppet modules.

I don't have this experience with mediawiki, but I think it is a typical
php app, and if it not implements an anti-pattern, we can add the config
file to puppet. But first of all we need to retrieve the existing file from
an infra member.
