I don't think so if someone is using "$EnablePathInfo = 1;"

Look at mwiki.php, lines 302ff. There is also another request method,
with the "pagename" parameter instead of "n".

I don't want to duplicate this code or portions of MakePageName().

Can I rely on pagename being set to the request when config.php is
processed?

Can I call MakePageName() early in config.php?

Correct, I missed this. But this is more a skin problem - the "Logo"
link has to be a full URL to the current default page instead of
$ScriptUrl, else the language information is lost anyway.

A link to $ScriptUrl will always start the default language.

Exactly that's what I'm looking for.

Looking at MakePageName(), I'm afraid it's not so simple.
