Hi,
PhpMyAdmin and Adminer are graphical and mouse interfaces for database managers like MySQL or MariaDB which avoids having to use text consoles and command lines.
You can keep only MySQL and not use MariaDB or vice versa.
See Right-Click -> Help -> MySQL - MariaDB
WordPress works very well locally, both with MySQL and MariaDB.
