 The handbook mentiones in a few places MySQL in a tone which could be
 understood by some users like a strict requirement to use MySQL, even
 though WordPress can as easily run on MariaDB too. In some case MariaDB
 would even be preferred.

 Please update the following pages to spell "MySQL/MariaDB" instead of just
 "MySQL":
 * https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/installing-a-local-
 server/
 * https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/setting-up-a
 -development-environment/

 WordPress works very well with MariaDB so it deserves to be mentioned in
 the Handbook just like it is mentioned at
 https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/


 Thank you!
