Okay...that's a bit weird. Where is the webserver root for the wiki
then? Is the vendor directory present there? If symlinks are set up
manually I'm going to guess not, since vendor was introduced recently.
(basically every directory in the second line of
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MDEB/browse/master/debian/mediawiki.install;12a9e70e20eaa03964a9ef272643d85a1d04102e$2>,
I think serialized is new as well, though it's only required when
logging in IIRC).

In general, I would recommend spending some time getting your wiki out
of a user's home directory and using the normal filesystem layout the
package sets up (documented at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/Packages#Filesystem>), it
will make things a lot easier.
