We've had <imagemap> for quite some time and it's been working out.
{{filepath:}} is nice, but when we already have other options and people
haven't been hardwired to depend on it yet, it's not worth the
instability elsewhere.
That is just a simple addition to MediaWiki, it's quite possible anyways
to install 1.11 then just find the commit that added {{filepath:}} and
add those changes to 1.11. Then we'd have 1.11, and filepath.

I think {{filepath:}} alone is worth going with MediaWiki 1.12.

I'd like to ask a bit of a question of the techs.
What's the benefit of upgrading to MediaWiki 1.12?
Checking on the issues with the upgrade recently I realized that many of
the new features for Wikia that I listed are actually not included in the
revision that Wikia has. I hunted down what ones, and made an edit to the
page. This is the new list of new features:
http://www.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki_1.12/new_features
I hardly think that {{filepath:}} and a tweak to the title on history pages
is enough to warrant going into an unstable alpha version of MediaWiki.
My proposal is one of two options:
* Revert to MediaWiki 1.11.0 - Why? It's more stable than an alpha version,
there are less bugfixes to apply because you are running code which had new
bugs added before your revision but fixed after, and it still has all the
good features that we are seeing from the upgrade.
* Upgrade further to a more recent revision of MediaWiki 1.12a - Why? We're
missing nearly every advantage of 1.12 over 1.11 on our current revision and
a more recent revision will be much more valuable for Wikia, more recent
revisions also contain an alteration to the Parser, this alteration is the
one that Angela mentioned that reduces the load that ParserFunctions and
Templates cause, and could potentially reduce the current issues with a
MW1.12a memory leak.
Just my thoughts...
