Forum:MediaWiki 1.12 upgrade

It's upgrade time again! We have started moving all wikis to MediaWiki 1.12, starting with some inactive wikis and ending with the largest and most active.

If you notice any strangeness on a wiki, please check Special:Version to see what version of the wiki software is being used. If it's 1.12, then please report any problems here. Many thanks! -- sannse (talk) 22:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Mind a link to a place with 1.12 installed, or install it on CommunityTest so we could play arround?
 * I'll start a page at Forum:MediaWiki 1.12 upgrade new features and add in what I can before I half to go to work. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 14, 2007 @ 23:01 (UTC)


 * 1.12 is on scratchpad right now. -PanSola 05:10, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It's also on the 1000 most inactive wikis, such as the Ajax wiki. I've put a list of those here in an old revision Angela (talk) 05:16, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Problems with special pages

 * (2033) Special:Contributions gives an error saying Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.. Angela (talk) 05:16, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * (2034) Regexblock might be faulty. GHe is blocked (only GHE ought to be blocked). Angela (talk) 05:16, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Discussion and solved problems

 * The link to Statistics on the Special:Statistics page actually links to Statistics because of the interwiki link. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 15, 2007 @ 09:50 (UTC)
 * That was related to an edit in the mediawiki namespace, not to the upgrade and should now be fixed. Angela (talk) 09:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
