Hello, > You update by replacing the old files with the new ones, then running the script at maintenance/update.php Does that mean that I can simply copy the contents of new "mediawiki-1.15.2" directory to the original "mediawiki-1.11.0 directory? (Retaining the LocalSettings.php & AdminSettings.php from the 1.11.0 version). Or can I delete the old wiki dir & copy the new dir?

I would like to upgrade them individually, rather than scripting them all. > Good prectises advise making a db backup before updating. mysqldump -u name_admin -p namewiki > namewik-Back.txt To my knowledge the wiki's are not sharing the files, but how could I determine that?
