MediaWiki 1.22/de

Diese Seite enthält Veröffentlichungshinweise einer nicht unterstützten Version von MediaWiki. Benutzern dieser Version wird empfohlen, auf die Version 1.42.3 (letzte stabile Version), 1.41.4 (Legacy-Version) oder 1.39.10 (veraltete Version mit Langzeitunterstützung) zu aktualisieren.

MediaWiki 1.22 ist eine veraltete Veröffentlichung von MediaWiki. It was deployed on Wikimedia Foundation wikis through incremental wmf-branches, starting in April 2013. The final, stable version was released on December 06, 2013. Consult the RELEASE NOTES for the full list of changes. Download the latest release or checkout the REL1_22 branch in Git for testing.

Like MediaWiki 1.21, we're improving countervandalism and anti-spam features:

• The patrolling system has been improved to make the "mark as patrolled" link available on any patrollable page or revision, without having to go to Special:RecentChanges or Special:NewPages. It is no longer necessary to look up the "rcid" URI parameter from these special pages. (Fehler 15936)
• SimpleAntiSpam, a small but harmless shield against the simplest forms of spambots, has been merged into core.

• When comparing revisions in the history or when previewing changes while editing, "(No difference)" is now shown in place of a diff when the revisions are identical. (Fehler 14431)
• After a successful edit, the confirmation message "Your edit was saved." is now shown. Formerly a separate extension (PostEdit), this feature is now part of the core software. (Fehler 48276)

The old Vector extension has been merged into core, and the extension has been discontinued. The new version includes several improvements to both the Vector skin and cross-skin features. (Fehler 45051) If you were previously using the Vector extension, you must uninstall it (the extension, not the skin) before upgrading to 1.22.

• All skins:
  • Section edit links are now displayed next to their respective headings rather than along the opposite side of the page. (Fehler 41729)
  • Lists of templates and categories used on the page, displayed below the edit form, are now collapsible. The area with license information, edit summary, and related functionality below the edit field has received a minor graphical lift. (Fehler 43689)
  • An "edit warning" is now displayed when the user attempts to leave the edit page with unsaved changes, on browsers supporting dialogs.
• Vector skin only:
  • Navigation menu subsections are now collapsible.
  • Page tabs can now dynamically fold into a dropdown menu when the browser window isn't wide enough to fit them.

The Composer PHP dependency manager can now be used to install some extensions. It solves many common problems, including finding where to download an extension, resolving all of its dependencies and libraries, and selecting the right versions. Most MediaWiki extensions do not currently support Composer, but this is expected to change.

The login and signup forms have a new look and feel. See Account creation user experience/Strings for related message changes.

As with every release, there are some routine maintenance and upgrade tasks that go beyond the primary installation process.

Though the minimum PHP version is still 5.3.2, MediaWiki now requires either the native JSON extension or the pecl-json-c fork. Most servers already have this PHP extension installed and enabled. However, if you administer your own server, and the MediaWiki installer says you don't have this extension:

• If you compiled PHP yourself with the --disable-all configure option, you may have to recompile with --enable-json.
• On Red Hat or CentOS, check for the line extension=json.so in /etc/php.ini or /etc/php.d/json.ini.
• Ubuntu 13.10, Fedora 19, and other recent Linux distributions package pecl-json-c separately, under names such as php5-json (Ubuntu universe) and php-pecl-jsonc (Fedora). They no longer include the original JSON extension because of licensing concerns.

On April 1, 2013, several ancient skins were removed from core (not an April Fools' joke): Chick, Classic (also known as Standard), MySkin, Nostalgia and Simple. More information: m:Turning off outdated skins.

Nostalgia was the phase I/UseModWiki-like skin, and Classic was the main skin before the introduction of the default MonoBook in MediaWiki 1.3 on May 22, 2004. Dating back to February 2002,^[1] both skins existed over a year before MediaWiki got its name.

Blanking a system message (editing it on wiki to remove all content) will no longer restore the default value for the message, but instead make it show as an empty string in the interface (fixing Fehler 14176, "Add ability to disable MediaWiki messages"). If you have blank messages on your wiki (check Special:AllMessages), you must delete them unless you want them to display as empty.

A new setting ($wgCascadingRestrictionLevels ) was added for enabling cascading protection for protection levels other than "Allow only administrators" (Fehler 47617). Shortly afterward, the way the "editprotected" and "autoconfirmed" rights work was changed (git #d2477932). In particular, the "autoconfirmed" right is now only used for rate limiting, not page protection. If your wiki has custom user groups with the "autoconfirmed" right, you may need to grant those groups the new "editsemiprotected" right when you upgrade.

Special:Disambiguations, a page that listed "Pages linking to disambiguation pages", has been removed (Fehler 35981). If your wiki used this feature, consider using Extension:Disambiguator, which provides similar functionality and will be bundled in the tarball. Switching to the new extension is easy and generally only requires a small change to a single template.

There were no newly bundled extensions in 1.22.

Merged into 1.22:

• SimpleAntiSpam
• PostEdit
• Vector

Starting with June 2014 this will be the last Wednesday of the month. The anticipated dates for point releases for 1.22 are as follows:

• Open bugs targeted for 1.22
• Resolved bugs targeted for 1.22
