Per the discussion on Mediawiki-l,
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08950.html), I
am attempting to document the problem for 1.16.2 and provide a definitive test
that shows 1.16.5 solves it. As stated previously, we don't have the manpower
to continually track new releases of MW, so we tend to stay on one release for
a long time. For example, we stayed on 1.13.2 for 3 years. I would imagine
there are other wikis that follow a similar strategy.

So, if someone runs up against the problem described in this bug ticket (for a
wiki running 1.16.2), it is useful to let them know that 1.16.5 solves it (if
it in fact does - right now this is only a conjecture). They can then either
move to 1.16.5 or backport the fix to 1.16.2 (probably not a useful strategy in
this case, but in other cases where a bug is fixed in a release more distant
than the one the wiki runs, sometimes an attractive option). We backported bug
fixes for a couple of years before moving to 1.16.2.

Since I have not yet been able to reproduce the problems I documented in the
bug ticket comments in 1.16.5, I have changed the version tag on the ticket to
1.16.2. If I find after testing that 1.16.5 has the same problem, I will update
the version. Otherwise, I will leave it as it is.
