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.
