Bug #: 29558
Summary: Add config var to disable update.php
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Maintenance scripts
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Per our conversation in #wikimedia-dev today, it has long been assumed that
running update.php on the cluster will result in death and destruction. We've
never actually tried, and there's talk of trying it out on test2wiki to see
what happens, but for now update.php is still considered very much unsafe.
This isn't really documented, though, it's just well-known... except to
newcomers. So it'd be nice to add a config var that, if enabled, makes
update.php refuse to run. Lest anyone accidentally run update.php and cause a
terrible mess. Of course the default behavior should be to allow update.php to
be run, because most wikis aren't special like us :D
