I was hoping to leave the ukcider wiki on mediawiki 1.3.9 while installing 1.5 for the new project, but now I think some of the advantages are pressing:
- bug and security fixes
- potential for anti-spam plugins
- easier skin customisation
- editable navigation side bar.
Since it’s a live database, I have to make a backup copy of it first and use that to create a testbed environment where I can try out the upgrade safely, since it’s not just a matter of uploading new software, but restructuring the existing tables in the database as well, and there is no guarantee this will work with all combinations of upgrade.
See more progress on: live upgrade from mediawiki 1.3 to 1.5
