Die Version 1.25.0 hat einen JSON-Syntaxfehler in der Erweiterung ConfirmEdit. Du solltest 1.25.1 oder einen späteren Tarball herunterladen.
In den Versionen 1.25.0 und 1.25.1 gibt es ein Problem mit Einstellungen in LocalSettings.php: Wird eine Einstellung für eine Erweiterung oder Skin auf "false" gesetzt, werden die Standardwerte für diese Einstellung nicht überschrieben (T100767). Dies wurde in 1.25.2 korrigiert.

Sicherheitshinweis: Wenn du PHPs Option register_globals gesetzt hast, musst du sie deaktivieren. MediaWiki wird mit aktivierter Option nicht funktionieren.

MediaWiki 1.25.6

This is a security release of the MediaWiki 1.25 branch.

  • (T86156) Running updateSearchIndex.php will not throw an error as page_restrictions has been added to the locked table list.
  • Special:Version would throw notices if using SVN due to an incorrectly named variable. Add an additional check that an index is defined.

MediaWiki 1.25.1

Das ist eine Fehlerkorrektur-Aktualisierung des MediaWiki 1.25-Zweigs.

Änderungen seit 1.25

  • (Fehler T100351) Fix syntax errors in extension.json of ConfirmEdit extension

MediaWiki 1.25

MediaWiki 1.25 ist ein stabiler Zweig und wird für die Verwendung im Produktionsbetrieb empfohlen.

Konfigurationsänderungen

  • $wgPageShowWatchingUsers was removed.
  • $wgLocalVirtualHosts has been added to replace $wgConf ->localVHosts.
  • $wgAntiLockFlags was removed.
  • $wgJavaScriptTestConfig was removed.
  • Edit tokens returned from User::getEditToken may change on every call. Token validity must be checked by passing the user-supplied token to User::matchEditToken rather than by testing for equality with a newly-generated token.
  • (Fehler T74951) The UserGetLanguageObject hook may be passed any IContextSource for its $context parameter. Formerly it was documented as receiving a RequestContext specifically.
  • Profiling was restructured and $wgProfiler now requires an 'output' parameter. See StartProfiler.sample for details.
  • $wgMangleFlashPolicy was added to make MediaWiki's mangling of anything that might be a flash policy directive configurable.
  • ApiOpenSearch now supports XML output. The OpenSearchXml extension should no longer be used. If extracts and page images are desired, the TextExtracts and PageImages extensions are required.
  • $wgOpenSearchTemplate is deprecated in favor of $wgOpenSearchTemplates .
  • Edits are now prepared via AJAX as users type edit summaries. This behavior can be disabled via $wgAjaxEditStash .
  • (Fehler T46740) The temporary option $wgIncludejQueryMigrate was removed, along with the jQuery Migrate library, as indicated when this option was provided in MediaWiki 1.24.
  • ProfilerStandard and ProfilerSimpleTrace were removed. Make sure that any StartProfiler.php config is updated to reflect this. Xhprof is available for zend/hhvm. Also, for hhvm, one can consider using its xenon profiler.
  • Default value of $wgSVGConverters ['rsvg'] now uses the 'rsvg-convert' binary rather than 'rsvg'.
  • Default value of $wgSVGConverters ['ImageMagick'] now uses transparent background with white fallback color, rather than just white background.
  • MediaWikiBagOStuff class removed, make sure any object cache config uses SqlBagOStuff instead.
  • The 'daemonized' flag must be set to true in $wgJobTypeConf for any redis job queues. This means that mediawiki/services/jobrunner service has to be installed and running for any such queues to work.
  • $wgAutopromoteOnce no longer supports the 'view' event. For keeping some compatibility, any 'view' event triggers will still trigger on 'edit'.
  • $wgExtensionDirectory was added for when your extensions directory is somewhere other than $IP/extensions (as $wgStyleDirectory does with the skins directory).

Neue Funktionen

  • (Fehler T64861) Updated plural rules to CLDR 26. Includes incompatible changes for plural forms in Russian, Prussian, Tagalog, Manx and several languages that fall back to Russian.
  • (Fehler T60139) ResourceLoaderFileModule now supports language fallback for 'languageScripts'.
  • Added a new hook, "ContentAlterParserOutput", to allow extensions to modify the parser output for a content object before links update.
  • (Fehler T37785) Enhanced recent changes and extended watchlist are now default. Documentation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Enhanced_recent_changes and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultUserOptions .
  • (Fehler T69341) SVG images will no longer be base64-encoded when being embedded in CSS. This results in slight size increase before gzip compression (due to percent-encoding), but up to 20% decrease after it.
  • Update jStorage to v0.4.12.
  • MediaWiki now natively supports page status indicators: icons (or short text snippets) usually displayed in the top-right corner of the page. They have been in use on Wikipedia for a long time, implemented using templates and CSS absolute positioning.
  • Edit tokens may now be time-limited: passing a maximum age to User::matchEditToken will reject any older tokens.
  • The debug logging internals have been overhauled, and are now using the PSR-3 interfaces.
  • Update CSSJanus to v1.1.1.
  • Update lessphp to v0.5.0.
  • Added a hook, "ApiOpenSearchSuggest", to allow extensions to provide extracts and images for ApiOpenSearch output. The semantics are identical to the "OpenSearchXml" hook provided by the OpenSearchXml extension.
  • PrefixSearchBackend hook now has an $offset parameter. Combined with $limit, this allows for pagination of prefix results. Extensions using this hook should implement supporting behavior. Not doing so can result in undefined behavior from API clients trying to continue through prefix results.
  • Update jQuery from v1.11.1 to v1.11.3.
  • External libraries installed via composer will now be displayed on Special:Version in their own section. Extensions or skins that are installed via composer will not be shown in this section as it is assumed they will add the proper credits to the skins or extensions section. They can also be accessed through the API via the new siprop=libraries to ApiQuerySiteInfo.
  • Update QUnit from v1.14.0 to v1.16.0.
  • Update Moment.js from v2.8.3 to v2.8.4.
  • Special:Tags now allows for manipulating the list of user-modifiable change tags.
  • Added 'managetags' user right and 'ChangeTagCanCreate', 'ChangeTagCanDelete', and 'ChangeTagCanCreate' hooks to allow for managing user-modifiable change tags.
  • Added 'ChangeTagsListActive' hook, to separate the concepts of "defined" and "active" formerly conflated by the 'ListDefinedTags' hook.
  • Added TemplateParser class that provides a server-side interface to cachable dynamically-compiled Mustache templates (currently uses lightncandy library).
  • Clickable anchors for each section heading in the content are now generated and appear in the gutter on hovering over the heading.
  • Added 'CategoryViewer::doCategoryQuery' and 'CategoryViewer::generateLink' hooks to allow extensions to override how links to pages are rendered within NS_CATEGORY
  • (Fehler T19665) Special:WantedPages only lists pages having at least one red link pointing to them.
  • New hooks 'ApiMain::moduleManager' and 'ApiQuery::moduleManager', can be used for conditional registration of API modules.
  • New hook 'EnhancedChangesList::getLogText' to alter, remove or add to the links of a group of changes in EnhancedChangesList.
  • A full interface for StatsD metric reporting has been added to the context interface, reachable via IContextSource::getStats().
  • Move the jQuery Client library from being mastered in MediaWiki as v0.1.0 to a proper, published library, which is now tagged as v1.0.0.
  • A new message (defaulting to blank), 'editnotice-notext', can be shown to users when they are editing if no edit notices apply to the page being edited.
  • (Fehler T94536) You can now make the sitenotice appear to logged-in users only by editing MediaWiki:Anonnotice and replacing its content with "". Setting it to "-" (default) will continue disable it and fallback to MediaWiki:Sitenotice.
  • Modifying the tagging of a revision or log entry is now available via Special:EditTags, generally accessed via the revision-deletion-like interface on history pages and Special:Log is likely to be more useful.
  • Added 'applychangetags' and 'changetags' user rights.
  • (Fehler T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting the parameters for API log event output. Extensions should implement the new getParametersForApi() method in their log formatters.

Externe Bibliotheken

  • MediaWiki now requires certain external libraries to be installed. In the past these were bundled inside the Git repository of MediaWiki core, but now they need to be installed separately. For users using the tarball, this will be taken care of and no action will be required. Users using Git will either need to use composer to fetch dependencies or use the mediawiki/vendor repository which includes all dependencies for MediaWiki core and ones used in Wikimedia deployment. Detailed instructions can be found at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Fetch_external_libraries
  • The following libraries are now required:

Fehlerkorrekturen

  • (Fehler T73003) No additional code will be generated to try to load CSS-embedded SVG images in Internet Explorer 6 and 7, as they don't support them anyway.
  • (Fehler T69021) On Special:BookSources, corrected validation of ISBNs (both 10- and 13-digit forms) containing "X".
  • Page moving was refactored into a MovePage class. As part of that:
    • The AbortMove hook was removed.
    • MovePageIsValidMove is for extensions to specify whether a page cannot be moved for technical reasons, and should not be overridden.
    • MovePageCheckPermissions is for checking whether the given user is allowed to make the move.
    • Title::moveNoAuth() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
    • Title::moveTo() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.

  • (Fehler T50853) Database::makeList() modified to handle 'NULL' separately when building IN clause
  • (Fehler T85192) Captcha position modified in Usercreate template. As a result:
    • extrafields parameter added to Usercreate.php to insert additional data
    • 'extend' method added to QuickTemplate to append additional values to any field of data array
  • (Fehler T86974) Several Title methods now load from the database when necessary (instead of returning incorrect results) even when the page ID is known.
  • (Fehler T74070) Duplicate search for archived files on file upload now omits the extension. This requires the fa_sha1 field being populated.
  • Removed rel="archives" from the "View history" link, as it did not pass HTML validation.
  • $wgUseTidy is now set when parserTests are run with the tidy option to match output on wiki.
  • (Fehler T37472) update.php will purge ResourceLoader cache unless --nopurge is passed to it.
  • (Fehler T72109) mediawiki.language should respect $wgTranslateNumerals in convertNumber().

Änderungen an der Action API

  • (Fehler T67403) XML tag highlighting is now only performed for formats "xmlfm" and "wddxfm".
  • action=paraminfo supports generalized submodules (modules=query+value), querymodules and formatmodules are deprecated
  • action=paraminfo no longer outputs descriptions and other help text by default. If needed, it may be requested using the new 'helpformat' parameter.
  • action=help has been completely rewritten, and outputs help in HTML rather than plain text.
  • Hitting api.php without specifying an action now displays only the help for the main module, with links to submodule help.
  • API help is no longer displayed on errors.
  • 'uselang' is now a recognized API parameter; "uselang=user" may be used to explicitly select the language from the current user's preferences, and "uselang=content" may be used to select the wiki's content language.
  • Default output format for the API is now jsonfm.
  • Simplified continuation will return a "batchcomplete" property in the result when a batch of pages is complete.
  • Pretty-printed HTML output now has nicer formatting and (if available) better syntax highlighting.
  • Deprecated list=deletedrevs in favor of newly-added prop=deletedrevisions and list=alldeletedrevisions.
  • prop=revisions will gracefully continue when given too many revids or titles, rather than just ignoring the extras.
  • prop=revisions will no longer die if rvcontentformat doesn't match a revision's content model; it will instead warn and omit the content.
  • If the user has the 'deletedhistory' right, action=query's revids parameter will now recognize deleted revids.
  • prop=revisions may be used as a generator, generating revids.
  • (Fehler T68776) format=json results will no longer be corrupted when $wgMangleFlashPolicy is in effect. format=php results will cleanly return an error instead of returning invalid serialized data.
  • Generators may now return data for the generated pages when used with action=query.
  • Query page data for generator=search and generator=prefixsearch will now include an "index" field, which may be used by the client for sorting the search results.

  • (Fehler T78690) list=allimages now accepts multiple pipe-separated values for the 'aimime' parameter.
  • prop=info with inprop=protections will now return applicable protection types with the 'restrictiontypes' key.
  • (Fehler T85417) When resolving redirects, ApiPageSet will now add the targets of interwiki redirects to the list of interwiki titles.
  • (Fehler T85417) When outputting the list of redirect titles, a 'tointerwiki' property (like the existing 'tofragment' property) will be set.
  • Added action=managetags to allow for managing the list of user-modifiable change tags. Actually modifying the tagging of a revision or log entry is not implemented yet.
  • list=tags has additional properties to indicate 'active' status and tag sources.
  • siprop=libraries was added to ApiQuerySiteInfo to list installed external libraries.
  • (Fehler T88010) Added action=checktoken, to test a CSRF token's validity.
  • (Fehler T88010) Added intestactions to prop=info, to allow querying of Title::userCan() via the API.
  • Default type param for query list=watchlist and list=recentchanges has been changed from all types (e.g. including 'external') to 'edit|new|log'.
  • Added formatversion to format=json. Still "experimental" as further changes to the output formatting might still be made.
  • (Fehler T73020) Log event details are now always under a 'params' subkey for list=logevents, and a 'logparams' subkey for list=watchlist and list=recentchanges.
  • Log event details are changing formatting:
    • block events now report flags as an array rather than as a comma-separated list.
    • patrol events now report the 'auto' flag as a boolean (absent/empty string for BC formats) rather than as an integer.

    • Except for action=opensearch where the spec requires an array.

Interne Änderungen an der Action API

  • ApiHelp has been rewritten to support i18n and paginated HTML output. Most existing modules should continue working without changes, but should do the following:
    • Add an i18n message "apihelp-{$moduleName}-description" to replace getDescription().
    • Add i18n messages "apihelp-{$moduleName}-param-{$param}" for each parameter to replace getParamDescription(). If necessary, the settings array returned by getParams() can use the new ApiBase::PARAM_HELP_MSG key to override the message.
    • Implement getExamplesMessages() to replace getExamples().
  • Modules with submodules (like action=query) must have their submodules override ApiBase::getParent() to return the correct parent object.
  • The 'APIGetDescription' and 'APIGetParamDescription' hooks are deprecated, and will have no effect for modules using i18n messages. Use 'APIGetDescriptionMessages' and 'APIGetParamDescriptionMessages' instead.
  • Api formatters will no longer be asked to display the help screen on errors.
  • ApiMain::getCredits() was removed. The credits are available in the 'api-credits' i18n message.
  • ApiFormatBase has been changed to support i18n and syntax highlighting via extensions with the new 'ApiFormatHighlight' hook. Core syntax highlighting has been removed.
  • ApiFormatBase now always buffers. Output is done when ApiFormatBase::closePrinter is called.
  • Much of the logic in ApiQueryRevisions has been split into ApiQueryRevisionsBase.
  • The 'revids' parameter supplied by ApiPageSet will now count deleted revisions as "good" if the user has the 'deletedhistory' right. New methods ApiPageSet::getLiveRevisionIDs() and ApiPageSet::getDeletedRevisionIDs() are provided to access just the live or just the deleted revids.
  • Added ApiPageSet::setGeneratorData() and ApiPageSet::populateGeneratorData() to allow generators to include data in the action=query result.
  • New hooks 'ApiMain::moduleManager' and 'ApiQuery::moduleManager', can be used for conditional registration of API modules.
  • Added ApiBase::lacksSameOriginSecurity() to allow modules to easily check if the current request was sent with the 'callback' parameter (or any future method that breaks the same-origin policy).
  • Profiling methods in ApiBase are deprecated and no longer need to be called.
  • ApiResult was greatly overhauled. See inline documentation for details.
  • ApiResult will automatically convert objects to strings or arrays (depending on whether a __toString() method exists on the object), and will refuse to add unsupported value types.
    • An informal interface, ApiSerializable, exists to override the default object conversion.
  • ApiResult/ApiFormatBase "raw mode" is deprecated.
  • ApiFormatXml now assumes defaults and so on instead of throwing errors when metadata isn't set.
  • (Fehler T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting log event parameters for the API.
  • Many modules have changed result data formats. While this shouldn't affect clients not using the experimental formatversion=2, code using ApiResult::getResultData() without the transformations for backwards compatibility may need updating, as will code that wasn't following the old conventions for API boolean output.
  • The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future release:
    • ApiBase::getDescription
    • ApiBase::getParamDescription
    • ApiBase::getExamples
    • ApiBase::makeHelpMsg
    • ApiBase::makeHelpArrayToString
    • ApiBase::makeHelpMsgParameters

  • Languages added:
    • awa (अवधी / Awadhi), thanks to translator 1AnuraagPandey;
    • bgn (بلوچی رخشانی / Western Balochi), thanks to translators Baloch Afghanistan, Ibrahim khashrowdi and Rachitrali;

  • (Fehler T66440) Kazakh (kk) wikis should no longer forcefully reset the user's interface language to kk where unexpected.
  • The Chinese conversion table was substantially updated to fix a lot of bugs and ensure better reading experience for different variants.

Weitere Änderungen

  • (Fehler T45591) Links to MediaWiki.org translatable help were added to indicators, mostly in special pages. Local custom target titles can be placed in the relevant '(namespace-X|action name|special page name)-helppage' system message. Extensions can use the addHelpLink() function to do the same.
  • The skin autodiscovery mechanism, deprecated in MediaWiki 1.23, has been removed. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery for migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.
  • JavaScript variables 'wgFileCanRotate' and 'wgFileExtensions' now only available on Special:Upload.
  • (Fehler T58257) Set site logo from mediawiki.skinning.interface module instead of inline styles in the HTML.
  • Removed ApiQueryUsers::getAutoGroups(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  • Removed XmlDumpWriter::schemaVersion(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  • Removed LogEventsList::getDisplayTitle(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  • Removed Preferences::trySetUserEmail(). (deprecated since 1.20)
  • Removed mw.user.name() and mw.user.anonymous() methods. (deprecated since 1.20)
  • Removed 'ok' and 'err' parameters in the mediawiki.api modules. (deprecated since 1.20)
  • Removed 'async' parameter from the mw.Api#getCategories() method. (deprecated since 1.20)
  • Removed 'jquery.json' module. (deprecated since 1.24) Use the 'json' module and global JSON object instead.
  • Deprecated OutputPage::readOnlyPage() and OutputPage::rateLimited(). Also, the former will now throw an MWException if called with one or more arguments.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Removed hitcounters and associated code.
  • The "temp" zone of the upload respository is now considered private. If it already exists (such as under the images/ directory), please make sure that the directory is not web readable (e.g. via a .htaccess file).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: In the XML dump format used by Special:Export and dumpBackup.php, the <model> and <format> tags now apprear before the <text> tag, instead of after the <text> and <sha1> tags. The new schema version is 0.10, the new schema URI is: https://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.10.xsd
  • MWFunction::call() and MWFunction::callArray() were removed, having being deprecated in 1.22.
  • Deprecated the getInternalLinkAttributes, getInternalLinkAttributesObj, and getInternalLinkAttributes methods in Linker, and removed getExternalLinkAttributes method, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.18.
  • Removed Sites class, which was deprecated in 1.21 and replaced by SiteSQLStore.
  • Added wgRelevantArticleId to the client-side config, for use on special pages.
  • Deprecated the TitleIsCssOrJsPage hook. Superseded by the ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook since MediaWiki 1.21.
  • Deprecated the TitleIsWikitextPage hook. Superseded by the ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook since MediaWiki 1.21.
  • Changed parsing of variables in schema (.sql) files:
    • The substituted values are no longer parsed. (Formerly, several passes were made for each variable, so depending on the order in which variables were defined, variables might have been found inside encoded values. This is no longer the case.)
    • Variables are no longer string encoded when the /*$var*/ syntax is used. If string encoding is necessary, use the '{$var}' syntax instead.
    • Variable names must only consist of one or more of the characters "A-Za-z0-9_".
    • In source text of the form '{$A}'{$B}' or `{$A}`{$B}`, where variable A does not exist yet variable B does, the latter may not be replaced. However, this difference is unlikely to arise in practice.
  • (Fehler T67278) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" must be surrounded by non-word characters on both sides.
  • The FormatAutocomments hook will now receive $pre and $post as booleans, rather than as strings that must be prepended or appended to $comment.
  • (Fehler T30950, Fehler T31025) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" can no longer contain newlines; but they can contain   and other non-newline whitespace.
  • The 'mediawiki.action.edit' ResourceLoader module no longer generates the edit toolbar, which has been moved to a separate 'mediawiki.toolbar' module. If you relied on this behavior, update your scripts' dependencies.
  • HTMLForm's 'vform' display style has been separated to a subclass. Therefore: * HTMLForm::isVForm() is now deprecated. * You can no longer do this: $form = new HTMLForm( … ); $form->setDisplayFormat( 'vform' ); // throws exception Instead, do this: $form = HTMLForm::factory( 'vform', … );
  • Deprecated Revision methods getRawUser(), getRawUserText() and getRawComment().
  • BREAKING CHANGE: mediawiki.user.generateRandomSessionId: The alphabet of the prior string returned was A-Za-z0-9 and now it is 0-9A-F
  • (Fehler T87504) Avoid serving SVG background-images in CSS for Opera 12, which renders them incorrectly when combined with border-radius or background-size.
  • Removed maintenance script dumpSisterSites.php.
  • DatabaseBase class constructors must be called using the array argument style. Ideally, DatabaseBase:factory() should be used instead in most cases.
  • Deprecated ParserOutput::addSecondaryDataUpdate and ParserOutput::getSecondaryDataUpdates. This is a hard deprecation, with getSecondaryDataUpdates returning an empty array and addSecondaryDataUpdate throwing an exception. These functions will be removed in 1.26, since they interfere with caching of ParserOutput objects.
  • Introduced new hook 'SecondaryDataUpdates' that allows extensions to inject custom updates.
  • Introduced new hook 'OpportunisticLinksUpdate' that allows extensions to perform updates when a page is re-rendered.
  • EditPage::attemptSave has been modified not to call handleStatus itself and instead just returns the Status object. Extension calling it should be aware of this.
  • Removed class DBObject. (unused since 1.10)
  • wfDiff() is deprecated.
  • The -m (maximum replication lag) option of refreshLinks.php was removed. It had no effect since MediaWiki 1.18 and should be removed from any cron jobs or similar scripts you may have set up.
  • (Fehler T85864) The following messages no longer support raw html: redirectto, thisisdeleted, viewdeleted, editlink, retrievedfrom, version-poweredby-others, retrievedfrom, thisisdeleted, viewsourcelink, lastmodifiedat, laggedslavemode, protect-summary-cascade
  • All BloomCache related code has been removed. This was largely experimental.
  • $wgResourceModuleSkinStyles no longer supports per-module local or remote paths. They can only be set for the entire skin.
  • Removed global function swap(). (deprecated since 1.24)
  • Deprecated the ".php5" file extension entry points and the $wgScriptExtension configuration variable. Refer to the ".php" files instead. If you want ".php5" URLs to continue to work, set up redirects. In Apache, this can be done by enabling mod_rewrite and adding the following rules to your configuration:
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php5 $1.php [R=301,L]
  • The global importScriptURI and importStylesheetURI functions, as well as the loadedScripts object, from wikibits.js (deprecated since 1.17) now emit warnings through mw.log.warn when accessed.

Kompatibilität

MediWiki 1.25 benötigt PHP 5.3.3. oder neuer. Es gibt experimentellen Support für HHVM 3.3.0.

MySQL ist das empfohlene Datenbankmanagementsystem. PostgreSQL oder SQLite können auch verwendet werden, aber Unterstützung dafür ist etwas weniger ausgereift. Es gibt experimentellen Support für Oracle und Microsoft SQL Server.

Die unterstützten Versionen sind:

  • MySQL 5.0.3+
  • PostgreSQL 8.3+
  • SQLite 3.3.7+
  • Oracle 9.0.1+
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)

Upgrade

1.25 hat einige Datenbankänderungen seit 1.24 und wird nicht ohne Schemaupdates funktionieren. Aufgrund von Änderungen an manch großen Tabellen wie der Revisionstabelle kann das Schemaupdate etwas länger dauern (Minuten auf einer mittelgroßen Seite, viele Stunden auf einer großen Seite).

Wenn du von vor 1.11 upgradest und ein Wiki als gemeinsames Archiv verwendet wird, stelle sicher, dass auch dieses upgedated wird. Ansonsten können Fehler aufgrund von Änderungen im Datenbankschema auftreten.

Wenn du von vor 1.7 upgradest, solltest du refreshLinks.php starten, um zu gewährleisten, dass neue Datenbankfelder mit Daten gefüllt sind.

Wenn du von MediaWiki 1.4.x oder früher updatest, solltest du zuerst auf 1.5 upgraden. Das Upgradescript maintenance/upgrade1_5.php wurde mit MediaWiki 1.21 entfernt.

Vergiss nicht, vor einem Upgrade immer ein Backup der Datenbank zu erstellen!

Siehe die Datei UPGRADE für detailliertere Upgradeanweisungen.

Für Hinweise zu 1.24.x und älteren Aktualisierungen siehe HISTORY.
