docs * (bug 29140) FirePHP debugging assist extension 2011-05-25 22:01:08 +00:00
extensions Follow up r74684 : use default path if MW_INSTALL_PATH is not present. 2010-10-30 11:43:03 +00:00

languages Fix encoding (followup r89330) 2011-06-02 13:23:21 +00:00
maintenance More unpicking of r85288. I think this is all of the magic method calls, but they're very hard to grep for (part of the problem with them!), so let's leave the calls in with a wfDeprecated() for a while... 2011-06-03 11:04:49 +00:00
mw-config HipHop improvements: 2011-05-30 13:49:09 +00:00
resources (bug 29105) Splitlines completely messes up selection of inserted text. This is not a problem in practice (WikiEditor doesn't have multiline insertions with splitlines enabled since r89402), but just in case it ever becomes a problem I'm disabling selection of inserted text altogether when splitlines is enabled; instead, the cursor will be moved to the end of the inserted text. 2011-06-03 10:08:06 +00:00
serialized * Introduced a non-dummy collation for $wgCategoryCollation, namely UCA with default tables. 2011-01-17 14:02:22 +00:00
skins Move fixes for config-error-box to mw-infobox in order to apply for warnings as well. And removed redundant clear: left. Poke r88465, 86060, r88109 2011-06-03 02:26:31 +00:00
tests More unpicking of r85288. I think this is all of the magic method calls, but they're very hard to grep for (part of the problem with them!), so let's leave the calls in with a wfDeprecated() for a while... 2011-06-03 11:04:49 +00:00
api.php (bug 28840) If the query string hits bug 28235, redirect to a safer URL instead of showing an unhelpful error message. IE 6 will only use the extension of the final destination for its cache filename. 2011-06-03 05:32:51 +00:00
api.php5
COPYING * Reformatted several text documents to be a hybrid between wikitext and plain text, so that they look nicer in the new installer. 2010-12-06 13:30:24 +00:00

FAQ
HISTORY Revert r87542 and rename RELEASE-NOTES to keep them both in trunk and branch 2011-05-07 14:45:48 +00:00
img_auth.php * Only blacklist query string extensions which match /^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/. This avoids blacklisting pretty much every api.php URL with a dot in it, due to extensions like "webm&smaxage=3600&maxage=3600&format=jsonfm" being detected. Such an extension is unlikely to be registered to a dangerous file type. The proposed regex matches all extensions registered in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT on my Windows XP VM, but does not include the ampersand, so avoids matching multiple URL parameters. 2011-06-01 02:01:59 +00:00
img_auth.php5
index.php Start unpicking r85288 (magic __get() accessor for RequestContext). Instead, bring back some of r86872 (abstract base class for classes providing access to RequestContext methods), which is a more 'classical' solution. 2011-06-03 10:54:13 +00:00
index.php5
INSTALL Require at least PHP 5.2.3. There's not much point increasing the minimum to 5.2.0, as I argued at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2010-November/050138.html . But requiring 5.2.3 is a significant win. Updates r83217. 2011-03-14 10:42:07 +00:00
load.php (bug 28840) If the query string hits bug 28235, redirect to a safer URL instead of showing an unhelpful error message. IE 6 will only use the extension of the final destination for its cache filename. 2011-06-03 05:32:51 +00:00

== MediaWiki ==

MediaWiki is the software used for Wikipedia [http://www.wikipedia.org/] and the
other Wikimedia Foundation websites. Compared to other wikis, it has an
excellent range of features and support for high-traffic websites using
multiple servers (Wikimedia sites peak in the 60000+ requests per second range
as of November 2008).

While quite usable on smaller sites, you may find you have to "roll your own"
local documentation, and some aspects of configuration may seem overcomplicated
because MediaWiki is primarily targeted as an in-house tool.

The MediaWiki software was written by:
* Lee Daniel Crocker
* Magnus Manske
* Jan Hidders
* Brion Vibber
* Axel Boldt
* Geoffrey T. Dairiki
* Tomasz Wegrzanowski
