 To setup a new wiki:
 
- * In this example, I will refer to GROUP. This variable should be changed based on the request coming in. GROUP should be replaced wth a short name refering to the member requesting the wiki (e.g. mfpl or brecht).
- * Create a DNS A record for the member under the MFPL hosting order with the domain GROUP.wiki.mayfirst.org that points to the IP address: 209.51.163.6
+ * In this example, I will refer to <prefix>. This variable should be changed based on the request coming in. <prefix> should be replaced wth a short name refering to the member requesting the wiki (e.g. mfpl or brecht).
+ * Create a DNS A record for the member under the MFPL hosting order with the domain <prefix>.wiki.mayfirst.org that points to the IP address: 209.51.163.6
  * Login to peltier.mayfirst.org as root and run the following commands:
 {{{
 cd /etc/mediawiki/members-configs
-# create and edit NAME.wiki.mayfirst.org to meet needs of new wiki
-# first create your new file (changing GROUP below to your wiki name and don't forget the php at the end)
-cp example.wiki.mayfirst.org GROUP.wiki.mayfirst.org.php
+# first create your new file (changing <prefix> below to your wiki name and don't forget the php at the end)
+cp example.wiki.mayfirst.org.php <prefix>.wiki.mayfirst.org.php
 # now go into your new file and edit it to make sure the defaults do what you need and change the two instances of the word PREFIX with your own wiki's new name (just the name...not the full url)
 # create new tables for the installation. 
 # for the tables, e.g. mfpl_ or ussf2010_
-./create-new-tables GROUP_ 
-# create an image directory (should match settings in GROUP.wiki.mayfirst.org)
-mkdir /var/www/wiki.mayfirst.org/mediawiki/images/GROUP
+./create-new-tables <prefix>_ 
+# create an image directory (should match settings in <prefix>.wiki.mayfirst.org)
+mkdir /var/www/wiki.mayfirst.org/mediawiki/images/<prefix>
 chown mediawiki:nogroup /var/www/wiki.mayfirst.org/mediawiki/images/PREFIX
-# edit the file that includes the proper settings file based on the domain - adding a new stanza at the end
-emacs select-settings-file.php
+# edit select-settings.php file, which includes the proper settings file based on the domain - adding a new stanza at the end
