docs Per discussion on Mediawiki-l, talk about the GROUP BY issue a bit. 2011-04-29 13:42:48 +00:00
extensions Follow up r74684 : use default path if MW_INSTALL_PATH is not present. 2010-10-30 11:43:03 +00:00
images (bug 28507) Fix for r85844: that revision was not actually sufficient to fix bug 28235, since URLs can have more than one question mark in them. 2011-04-14 07:10:59 +00:00
includes No current need for an alias to getPath() 2011-05-04 18:34:50 +00:00

maintenance No current need for an alias to getPath() 2011-05-04 18:34:50 +00:00
mw-config (bug 1379) Installer directory conflicts with some hosts' configuration panel. 2011-02-26 12:35:23 +00:00
resources Partial revert of r87345. Causing unreadable buttons in ArticleFeedback (http://i.imgur.com/PyxOw.png ), likely breaks other things as well. 2011-05-04 17:23:17 +00:00
serialized * Introduced a non-dummy collation for $wgCategoryCollation, namely UCA with default tables. 2011-01-17 14:02:22 +00:00
skins Moved "printfooter" and debug HTML away from "bodytext" so that they can be easily modified by extensions with the SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec hook; always moved generation of debug HTML just before executing the hook so that it includes more items 2011-05-03 17:23:17 +00:00
tests Tag names can't contain template parameters (thanksfully) 2011-05-04 14:40:25 +00:00

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

== 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
