However, there are a couple things that I need to know.

> 1. How can I change the name of the session cookie used in MediaWiki.
	- This value can be found in the localsettings or
defaultsettings file.

> 2. Is there anywhere (like in the database) that MediaWiki stores the
session information for each user?
	- In the documentation folder the database schema is outlined,
if in doubt look at the database.

> 3. Where can I make edits to force MediaWiki to add info to another
database also when registering a user? (if necessary, I can move the
tables to the MediaWiki database, but I need to know how to make
MediaWiki add info to another table)
	- try the documentation otherwise follow the code

People are much more willing to help when it can be seen that you have
made some effort yourself; if you want to use this software it is
worthwhile looking around the documentation and understanding how it
works.
