Topic on Extension talk:UserMerge

please upgrade to MediaWiki core after 24.12.2013, or downgrade your Extension:UserMerge to a suited version. --Wikinaut (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm getting the following error:

[d473036b] /Special:UserMerge Exception from line 376 of /root/w/includes/SpecialPage.php: Call to undefined method UserMerge::getPageTitle
Backtrace:

#7 /root/w/index.php(49): MediaWiki->run()

please indicate the version of the UserMerge extension, and/or upgrade your MediaWiki to trunk.

I just saw, that a commit https://git.wikimedia.org/commitdiff/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FUserMerge.git/d5a37fcbe8f18bf38506ecc7aeaa62a7a404c613 changed that line in UserMerge from getTitle to getPageTitle, which apparently requires a recent MediaWiki master version.

This requirement should be documented, of course.

So either you downgrade the UserMerge extension, or you upgrade your MediaWiki core. If the problem persists, please file a regular bugzilla in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=UserMerge .
