Well yeah. I used the mysql database before I issued that command.


 MariaDB [(none)]> use mysql
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed

Then if I run that command for some reason there's no jfwiki or
jokefire entry in the db table:

MariaDB [mysql]>  select * from db where Db='jfwiki' or Db='jokefire' order
by Host;
Empty set (0.00 sec)


For some reason another database I imported to do bacula backups has an
entry in the db table:

MariaDB [mysql]> select Host,Db from db;
+-----------+--------+
| Host      | Db     |
+-----------+--------+
| %         | bacula |
| localhost | bacula |
+-----------+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

However I'm thinking more along the lines of my php mysql client having an
issue. Although I'm still a little stuck on why the wiki works without any
problem and why neither my php script nor wordpress are able to connect to
the db. It's really strange how that's happening!
