MediaWiki 1.22.3 Update Released

“MediaWiki 1.22.3 this release fix a number of bugs. Update recommended.”

MediaWiki is a free software wiki package written in PHP, originally for use on Wikipedia. It is now used by several other projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and by many other wikis.

MediaWiki is designed to be run on a large server farm for a website that gets millions of hits per day.

MediaWiki is an extremely powerful, scalable software and a feature-rich wiki implementation that uses PHP to process and display data stored in a database, such as MySQL.

Changes Detail

• Add sequence support for upsert in DatabaseOracle in the same way as in selectInsert
• Various fixes to job running code in Wiki.php: Make it async on Windows. Fixed possible “invalid filename” errors on Windows. Redirect output to dev/null to avoid hanging PHP.
• Correct sequence name for fresh Postgres installation.
• Avoid variable naming conflicts in DatabasePostgres::selectSQLText. 
• Fix rebuildall.php fatal error with PostgreSQL. The fix for 47055 introduced a fatal error when running rebuildall.php. This is a workaround suggested by gebhkla on Bugzilla. It just checks to make sure $options is actually an array before calling array_search on it.
• Add error handling if descriptionmsg isn’t defined for extension.
• Special:PrefixIndex omits stripprefix=1 for “Next page” link.
