I updated my wiki to 1.40, the latest stable release. Then I got this:

Fatal error: Uncaught ExtensionDependencyError: FlaggedRevs is not compatible with the current MediaWiki core (version 1.40.0), it requires: >= 1.41. in C:\xampp\htdocs\w\includes\registration\ExtensionRegistry.php:438 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\w\includes\registration\ExtensionRegistry.php(282): ExtensionRegistry->readFromQueue(Array)

#4 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\w\includes\registration\ExtensionRegistry.php on line 438

FlaggedRevs is not compatible with 1.40?! And it asks me to install the current alpha version?! Is this for real?!

Did you download the 1.40 version of FlaggedRevs? When I download the 1.40 version from Special:ExtensionDistributor/FlaggedRevs, I get an extension.json which tells that the extension is compatible with MediaWiki 1.40+.

> And it asks me to install the current alpha version?!

No, its saying you installed an alpha version of flagged revisions which doesn't work with stable mediawiki. Just install 1.40 flagged revs

Thank you, Tacsipacsi and Bawolff! I redownloaded the extension via Special:ExtensionDistributor and reinstalled it. Now it does work. 😊

I initially downloaded FlaggedRevs using this command:

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/FlaggedRevs.git

Does this automatically give you the alpha version?

It gives you the current development version by default yes.. you need to checkout the REL_1.40 branch if you want to checkout the version from git.

@TheDJ: Ok. Like this?

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/FlaggedRevs.git --branch REL1_40

Yes that should work.

Please see Download_from_Git

Thanks everyone! I did not knew that git clone gives you the development/alpha version by default, instead of the stable version. Hence my misunderstanding.
