User blog comment:TOR/MediaWiki Upgrade/@comment-5473581-20120713055656

I notice that community.wikia.com is still using 1.16.5. I usually use Central as a place to verify whether the issue is a local issue or a wikia-wide one. So at first I thought that the upgrade issues must have been due to a local javascript conflict.

I've just filed a couple of bug reports related to the upgrade. Amongst a bunch of little things, I noticed a major problem with the editor page. The "Add features and media", "Categories" and "Templates" sections are missing. I'm not sure how something that big was missed during testing.

I've never liked the changes related to the editor sidebar, and the issues I've reported have never been fixed, but even if we can't have the old category selector back, I'd still like to use the Categories field. Oh, speaking of issues which have never been fixed, the upgrade has also broken my bandaid for the tab index problem. So thanks for not fixing that, and for breaking my fix.

Due to the categories box being absent, I've had to temporarily disable the category module in my preferences in order to edit categories.
