Notes
- PHP 5 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.7 - if you are using PHP 4 you should upgrade now! It's no longer supported by the PHP group, and has lots of bugs. Many shared hosting providers offer both PHP 4 and PHP 5, running simultaneously, your provider might do this. If you cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki 1.6.12 (download). Note that this version is no longer supported.
- MySQL 4 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.6 - if you are using an older version of MySQL and cannot upgrade then you should use MediaWiki 1.5.8 (download). Note that this version is no longer supported.

Development releases
- If you want to run on the latest development (i.e. alpha) version, you either have to use subversion or download nightly dump.
Old releases
You can find tar balls (*.tar.gz) of all versions of MediaWiki back to February 2007 in the MediaWiki download archives
To browse, including even older versions, see the tags directory, of the Subversion repository.
