Forum:Mediawiki 1.16 update

Version 1.16 was released today, has anyone heard when Wikia will update? Just curious. --Tlosk 21:53, July 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * We will when we will. Its not a simple upgrade for a site this size. We have lots of our code code to check, on top of the core stuff, plus dozens and dozens of extensions to update. We also have to make sure it doesnt corrupt any user settings, as this update is a change in the entire preference system. Be patient. --Uberfuzzy 01:36, July 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * You really don't want Wikia to just throw 1.16 out there. There's this helpful little process we call testing that sometimes makes things less hellish. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 11:02 PM PST 28 Jul 2010


 * I didn't mean to make it sound like I was asking for the update, just if there was a known time frame. I've only been active on Wikia since 1.15 was already out so had no idea what is normal and there were some things I've been testing on a local installation. Thanks for the info, didn't mean to raise any hackles. --Tlosk 22:12, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Soon". Next few weeks, anywhere 1 to 6 I'd guess. Some parts may come sooner then others. We've known this was coming "eventually" for some time, so some testing/reviewing was started a while back, to the best of what we could. We've already applied the release patch for 1.15.5, so thats a chunk of it. --Uberfuzzy 23:07, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
