Done. sync the config as in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Add_a_wiki#MediaWiki_configuration

Step 2: Prepare MediaWiki configuration

Edit the configuration files in operations/mediawiki-config.git . You need to add entries in dblists/all-labs.dblist, wikiversions-labs.json and (optionally, if the wiki won't be covered by any existing entry) $wgCentralAuthAutoLoginWikis in CommonSettings.php (if you want to enable CentralAuth's auto login), submit and get it merged. Jenkins will deploy the change on the cluster and refresh the compiled list of databases (.cdb files).

Connect on the beta deployment host (deployment-tin.deployment-prep.eqiad.wmflabs) and verify the change got properly deployed by changing to /srv/mediawiki-staging looking at git log or using mwscript shell hewiktionary
