1) Edit LocalSettings.php
2) Set $wgSitename to whatever you feel like.
3) Hope the version you originally installed was at least 1.3.6, so
you don't suffer from the fixed bug where this change is not reflected
in some/many parts of the UI:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#I.27ve_changed_settings_in_LocalSettings.php.2C_such_as_.24wgSitename.2C_but_they_don.27t_show_up_in_my_browser.3F_Why_not.3F
4) If you *do* have the above problem, either revert to default (with
the maintenance script mentioned) or manually edit all affected
MediaWiki: pages in your wiki.
