::Sean is correct — 1.20.4 is the latest stable release of MediaWiki (as of now; the [[mw:Download|Download page at MediaWiki.org]] has always the most up-to-date information about the latest stable release), and since WikiIndex's versions of PHP and MySQL are compatible with 1.20 branch, there's no need to be running the 1.19 branch and we should be able to safely upgrade to 1.20. Running the latest stable release is a good idea, not just in terms of features, but also in terms of security (although there haven't been any huge security flaws in MediaWiki recently, but still). --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 06:44, 28 April 2013 (PDT) | ::Sean is correct — 1.20.4 is the latest stable release of MediaWiki (as of now; the [[mw:Download|Download page at MediaWiki.org]] has always the most up-to-date information about the latest stable release), and since WikiIndex's versions of PHP and MySQL are compatible with 1.20 branch, there's no need to be running the 1.19 branch and we should be able to safely upgrade to 1.20.

::::The CAPTCHA is showing up on the registration form, but given how simple the question is and that there seems to be only one (!) question, it's just a matter of time until spambots will work around it and human vandals apparently already have. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 08:10, 29 April 2013 (PDT) | |||
