[edit] Responses to common questions
- memcached stops working
- You're using an old version of memcached. Upgrade.
- MediaWiki namespace stops working
- Touch the LocalSettings.php file to clear caches
- Can I use a database from 1.8 with an older version, like 1.6?
- No.
[edit] Observations
- Need an upgrade FAQ for some of the common recurring support questions that can't be covered in the main documentation page
- Might need to increase the standard protection level to stop well-meaning users from messing up the documentation
