-The .sql scripts in this directory are not meant to be run
-standalone, although they can be in some cases if you know
-what you're doing. Most of the time you'll want to run the
-.php scripts from the command line. You must run them from
-this directory, and the LocalSettings.php file in the
-directory above must point to the installation.
+== MediaWiki Maintenance ==
-The scripts in archive are for updating databases from
-older versions of the software.
+The .sql scripts in this directory are not intended to be run standalone,
+although this is appropriate in some cases, e.g. manual creation of blank tables
+prior to an import.
+Most of the PHP scripts need to be run from the command line. Prior to doing so,
+ensure that the LocalSettings.php file in the directory above points to the
+proper installation.
+
+Certain scripts will require elevated access to the database. In order to
+provide this, first create a MySQL user with "all" permissions on the wiki
+database, and then set $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword in your
+LocalSettings.php
+
+=== Brief explanation of files ===
+
+A lot of the files in this directory are PHP scripts used to perform various
+maintenance tasks on the wiki database, e.g. rebuilding link tables, updating
+the search indices, etc. The files in the "archives" directory are used to
+upgrade the database schema when updating the software. Some schema definitions
+for alternative (as yet unsupported) database management systems are stored
+here too.
+
+The "storage" directory contains scripts and resources useful for working with
+external storage clusters, and are not likely to be particularly useful to the
+vast majority of installations. This directory does contain the compressOld
+scripts, however, which can be useful for compacting old data.
+
+=== Maintenance scripts ===
+
+As noted above, these should be run from the command line. Not all scripts are
+listed, as some are Wikimedia-specific, and some are not applicable to most
+installations.
