Doesn't work.
Without proper instructions commented into the tops of mediawiki patch
files, they are next to worthless.
The instructions should say
# 1) cd to the directory where you have the directory tree to be
# patched, and put the patch files there.
# 2) ls should now show you
# $ ls -dl mediawiki-*
# -rw-r--r-- 1 fuz fuz 5310 2009-02-26 07:10 mediawiki-1.14.0.patch.gz
# drwxr-xr-x 15 fuz fuz 2048 2009-02-26 20:22 mediawiki-1.14.0rc1
# -rw-r--r-- 1 fuz fuz 1952692 2009-02-26 07:10 mediawiki-i18n-1.14.0.patch.gz
# 3) proceed with the patching as follows
# $ zcat mediawiki-1.14.0.patch.gz | patch -......
# $ zcat mediawiki-i18n-1.14.0 | patch -......
# 4) ls should now show
# $ ls -dl mediawiki-*
# ....
