deleteDefaultMessages.php was failing during upgrade
from MediaWiki 1.7.3 with a databaser error.
A stub user:
$user = User::newFromName( 'MediaWiki default' );
has user ID 0, so that $user->isAnon() is true.
Unfortunately, ManualLogEntry::publish() from r96441
tries to insert $user->getName() ("MediaWiki default")
into rc_ip.
PostgreSQL won't allow this, because rc_ip is of
Postgres-specific CIDR type.
Traceback:
Checking existence of old default messages...
...deleting old default messages (this may take a long time!)...A database query syntax error has occurred.
The last attempted database query was:
"INSERT INTO "recentchanges" (rc_timestamp,rc_cur_time,rc_namespace,rc_title,rc_type,rc_minor,rc_user,rc_user_text,rc_comment,rc_this_oldid,rc_last_oldid,rc_bot,rc_moved_to_ns,rc_moved_to_title,rc_ip,rc_patrolled,rc_new,rc_old_len,rc_new_len,rc_deleted,rc_logid,rc_log_type,rc_log_action,rc_params,rc_id) VALUES ('2012-03-14 21:51:05 GMT','2012-03-14 21:51:05 GMT','8','1movedto2','3','0','0','MediaWiki default','No longer required','0','0',1,'0','','MediaWiki default','1','0',NULL,NULL,'0','1','delete','delete','a:0:{}','1')"
from within function "RecentChange::save".
MySQL returned error "1: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type cidr: "MediaWiki default"

I didn't think that save() would send lines, since there was function to do that (added in r45725 - duplicating existing code).
This part of codebase could use much TLC
* $params[$index-1] was changed to $params[$index -1] instead of $params[$index - 1]
* ///!< @var string was changed to /// !< @var string, but should have remain unchanged.
