Depending upon your configuration, you may also need to preserve additional

=== Perform the database upgrade ===
-You will need an AdminSettings.php file set up in the correct format; see
-AdminSettings.sample in the wiki root for more information and examples.
+As of 1.21, it is possible to separate schema changes (i.e. adding,
+dropping, or changing tables, fields, or indices) from all other
+database changes (e.g. populating fields). If you need this
+capability, see "From the command line" below.
+
+==== From the web ====
+
+If you browse to the web-based installation script (usually at
+/mw-config/index.php) from your wiki installation you can follow the script and
+upgrade your database in place.

+
+From the command line, browse to the "maintenance" directory and run the
update.php script to check and update the schema. This will insert missing
tables, update existing tables, and move data around as needed. In most cases,
this is successful and nothing further needs to be done.
+If you need to separate out the schema changes so they can be run
+by someone with more privileges, then you can use the --schema option
+to produce a text file with the necessary commands. You can use
+--schema, --noschema, $wgAllowSchemaUpdates as well as proper database
+permissions to enforce this separation.

=== Test ===
You should also test any extensions, and upgrade these if necessary.
-== Upgrading from 1.8 wikis ==
+== Upgrading from 1.16 or earlier ==
+
+If you have a Chinese or Japanese wiki ($wgLanguageCode is set to one
+of "zh", "ja", or "yue") and you are using MySQL fulltext search, you
+will probably want to update the search index.
+
+In the "maintenance" directory, run the updateDoubleWidthSearch.php
+script. This will update the searchindex table for those pages that
+contain double-byte latin characters.
+
+== Upgrading from 1.8 or earlier ==
MediaWiki 1.9 and later no longer keep default localized message text
in the database; 'MediaWiki:'-namespace pages that do not exist in the
from the list on Special:Recentchanges, although the deletions themselves
will be hidden by default. (Click "show bot edits" to list them.)
-
See RELEASE-NOTES for more details about new and changed options.
-
-== Upgrading from 1.7 wikis ==
+== Upgrading from 1.7 or earlier ==
$wgDefaultUserOptions now contains all the defaults, not only overrides.
If you're setting this as a complete array(), you may need to change it
to set only specific items as recommended in DefaultSettings.php.
-== Upgrading from 1.6 wikis ==
+== Upgrading from 1.6 or earlier ==
$wgLocalTZoffset was in hours, it is now using minutes.
-Link autonumbering got fixed (#5918) for protocols other than http.
- - 'irc://irc.server.tld/' render as a link with a chat icon
- - '[irc://irc.server.tld]' render as an autonumbered link: [1]
-== Upgrading from pre-1.5 wikis ==
+== Upgrading from 1.5 or earlier ==
Major changes have been made to the schema from 1.4.x. The updater
has not been fully tested for all conditions, and might well break.
If you absolutely cannot make the UTF-8 upgrade work, you can try
doing it by hand: dump your old database, convert the dump file
-using iconv as described here:
+using iconv as described here:

and then reimport it. You can also convert filenames using convmv,
but note that the old directory hashes will no longer be valid,
should be replaced with:
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
-
-=== Web installer ===
-
-You can use the web-based installer wizard if you first remove the
-LocalSettings.php (and AdminSettings.php, if any) files; be sure to
-give the installer the same information as you did on the original
-install (language/encoding, database name, password, etc). This will
-also generate a fresh LocalSettings.php, which you may need to customize.
-
-You may change some settings during the install, but be very careful!
-Changing the encoding in particular will generally leave you with a
-lot of corrupt pages, particularly if your wiki is not in English.
-
-=== Command-line upgrade ===
-
-Additionally, as of 1.4.0 you can run an in-place upgrade script from
-the command line, keeping your existing LocalSettings.php. This requires
-that you create an AdminSettings.php giving an appropriate database user
-and password with privileges to modify the database structure.
-
-Once the new files are in place, go into the maintenance subdirectory and
-run the script:
-
- php update.php
-
-See caveats below on upgrading from 1.3.x or earlier.
-
-
-== Backups! ==
-
-To upgrade an existing MediaWiki installation, first BACK UP YOUR WIKI!
-If something goes wrong, you want to be able to start again.
-
-Your image files, configuration, etc can simply be copied or archived as
-you would any other files. (Make sure that the contents of your
-LocalSettings.php are not accidentally made public, as this contains
-a database password.)
-
-To back up the database, use the tools provided by your service provider
-(if applicable) or the standard mysqldump or pg_dump programs.
-
-For general help on mysqldump:
-http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqldump.html
-
-WARNING: If using MySQL 4.1.x, mysqldump's charset conversion may in
-some cases damage data in your wiki. If necessary, set the charset
-option to 'latin1' to avoid the conversion.
-
-For general help on pg_dump:
-http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-pgdump.html
-
-
-== Caveats ==
-
-=== Postgres ===
-
-Postgres support is new, and much of the upgrade instructions may
-not apply. The schema was changed significantly from 1.7 to 1.8,
-so you will need to at least use the update.php or web installer,
-as described above.
-
-
-=== Upgrading from 1.4.2 or earlier ===
+== Upgrading from 1.4.2 or earlier ==
1.4.3 has added new fields to the sitestats table. These fields are
optional and help to speed Special:Statistics on large sites. If you

As well as new messages, the processing of some messages has changed.
If you have customized them, please compare the new format using
Special:Allmessages or the relevant LanguageXX.php files:

- dberrortext
- editingcomment (was named commentedit)
- editingsection (was named sectionedit)
- numauthors
- numedits
