This has been deprecated since 1.18, throwing warnings for over a year and a half now, and nothing uses it anywhere in core or deployed extensions. No extensions in SVN seem to have this anymore (we must've cleaned up well), and the only affected extensions in Git are: - BlueSpiceExtensions - DynamicPageList (commented, so shouldn't be a worry) - SemanticPageMaker - TwitterCards If you're the author of one of these extensions or are feeling like cleaning up ancient code, please get them fixed.

Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals. If you
|
|
have it on, turn it '''off''' if you can.
|
|
|
|
== MediaWiki 1.23 ==
|
|
|
|
THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.23 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in
|
|
production.
|
|
|
|
=== Configuration changes in 1.23 ===
|
|
|
|
=== New features in 1.23 ===
|
|
* ResourceLoader can utilize the Web Storage API to cache modules client-side.
|
|
Compared to the browser cache, caching in Web Storage allows ResourceLoader
|
|
to be more granular about evicting stale modules from the cache while
|
|
retaining the ability to retrieve multiple modules in a single HTTP request.
|
|
This capability can be enabled by setting $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled to
|
|
true. This feature is currently considered experimental and should only be
|
|
enabled with care.
|
|
|
|
=== Bug fixes in 1.23 ===
|
|
* (bug 41759) The "updated since last visit" markers (on history pages, recent
|
|
changes and watchlist) and the talk page message indicator are now correctly
|
|
updated when the user is viewing old revisions of pages, instead of always
|
|
acting as if the latest revision was being viewed.
|
|
|
|
=== API changes in 1.23 ===
|
|
|
|
=== Languages updated in 1.23===
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
|
|
regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
|
|
changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
|
|
|
|
=== Other changes in 1.23 ===
|
|
* The global variable $wgArticle has been removed after a lengthy deprecation
|
|
|
|
== Compatibility ==
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki 1.23 requires PHP 5.3.2 or later.
|
|
|
|
MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
|
|
support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
|
|
Oracle.
|
|
|
|
The supported versions are:
|
|
|
|
* MySQL 5.0.2 or later
|
|
* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
|
|
* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
|
|
* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
|
|
|
|
== Upgrading ==
|
|
|
|
1.23 has several database changes since 1.22, and will not work without schema
|
|
updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
|
|
table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
|
|
many hours on a large site).
|
|
|
|
If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
|
|
repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
|
|
due to database schema changes.
|
|
|
|
If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
|
|
new database fields are filled with data.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, you should upgrade to
|
|
1.5 first. The upgrade script maintenance/upgrade1_5.php has been removed
|
|
with MediaWiki 1.21.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
|
|
|
|
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
|
|
|
|
For notes on 1.21.x and older releases, see HISTORY.

|
|
|
== Online documentation ==
|
|
|
|
Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
|
|
MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
|
|
for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):
|
|
|
|
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation
|
|
|
|
== Mailing list ==
|
|
|
|
A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:
|
|
|
|
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
|
|
|
|
A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
|
|
|
|
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
|
|
|
|
It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
|
|
going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
|
|
|
|
== IRC help ==
|
|
|
|
There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.
