Thread:Extension talk:OpenID/SpecialPageFactory issue with 1.17?/reply (5)

I fell into your trap of installing the openID extension to the current stable version of Mediawiki. Very clever of you to redefine "stable" to mean "old and in the way". You're very young aren't you?

I'd also like to point out that stable version 1.17 is the only version currently SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED in the prerequisites, so a careful person will be screwed. It is so blatant that it looks intentional.

How _exactly_ does one recover from this mistake? Is some sort of deinstallation of the openId extension or mediawiki needed or possible? I was in the mode of following clear instructions exactly, and now find myself either starting over from scratch with possibly incorrect instructions (the last set got me into this mess so I don't trust you mediawiki - openID people anymore) or hacking from the instructions in this thread, which seem to be a correction to the installation from scratch instructions.
