Almost. The last point is to be run from the console: php maintenance/update.php Also, renaming the files does not backup the database, you should dump it first. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki Since extension configuration is kept in LocalSettings, if the extensions are compatible with 1.16 (check if there's a newer version!) they should work out of the box with your configuration. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
