WMF uses a specific branch which is based on, but not exactly the same
as the official 1.18 release. It is one of these two branches:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/wmf/1.18wmf1/
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/wmf-deployment/
Although I do not know offhand which one.
