In docs/commands.rst, it twice mentions what sounds like a very helpful file, docs/configfiles.txt:
The value for this option describes the source of MediaWiki articles and images for the command and can be of one of the following types:
...
This value for --config corresponds to type=mwapi in a configuration file (see docs/configfiles.txt),
...
A filename of a configuration file (see docs/configfiles.txt).
However, there appears to be no configfiles.txt in the docs folder. A quick gander at the revision history through the tags shows that it was removed before version 0.13. Where now, then, is the documentation on writing a config file and the options available? Surely the existing text referring to docs/configfiles.txt should be updated to wherever that information is now, right? I see that 554d0deeaa29e88d329b9538655d2ffb5fbe174b removed configfiles.txt, but there would still seem to be a need for such documentation of configuration files since for instance mw-zip reports
mw-zip --help
Usage: mw-zip [OPTIONS] [ARTICLETITLE...]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
configuration file, ZIP file or base URL
...
so configuration files are presumably still supported...
