Mediawiki, update wiki

Update wiki.avdelning.se

Download the new wiki from mediawiki.org and unpack it. In this example it will be unpacked as mediawiki-1.35.2.

Delete the link pointing to the old wiki:

rm -f mediawiki

Create a new link pointing to the new wiki:

ln -s mediawiki-1.35.2 mediawiki

Copy some files and directories from the old wiki to the new. These are

• Localsettings that goes into mediawiki/
• extensions that goes into mediawiki/
• images that goes into mediawiki/
• skins/common that goes into mediawiki/skins/

You may have to download skins for the new version.

Update the database by going to directory mediawiki/maintenance. Run the script

./update.php

Check for errors (if any) and correct them.
