User blog comment:TimmyQuivy/On the Importance of Upgrading MediaWiki/@comment-24258073-20200509133445

What I really want now is for the MediaWiki whitelist to be expanded, because practically nothing has been added to the whitelist in the last 2 years which contradicts the statement that the whitelist is being expanded overtime.

Especially given that most system messages don't accept executable code meaning that the ones that don't accept executable code are not at risk of any security problems.

I honestly thought the whitelist would be expanded upon migrating to a newer version of MediaWiki. As a lot of the problems with the old version of MediaWiki won't necessarily be existent in the new version.
