 """
-Because MoinMoin 2 has no package releases yet, it can only be installed
-using GIT clone, and updated with GIT pull. To use GIT pull, you must avoid
-updating wikiconfig.py. You may override the wikiconfig.py default
-configuration by uploading this file and wikiconfig_local.py to your wiki root.
-
-The default wikiconfig.py has settings that are convenient for developers
-but not appropriate for public wikis on the web. The default settings:
-    * allow bots and users to edit and create items without logging in
-    * allow bots and users to register new users with fake email addresses
-
-The starting configuration below requires users to be logged in to edit items
-and only superusers can register new users.
-
-There are many other configuration options you may want to add here. See docs
-and wikiconfig.py.
+The intended use of wikiconfig_editme.py is for developers who want to add/remove
+wikiconfig.py options for testing. Making quick changes in a small file can be
+easier than editing a larger file.
