Compatibility/fr

MediaWiki fait tout son possible pour maintenir une large compatibilité entre les différentes versions, avec une gamme étendue de logiciels actuels et anciens. En même temps, l'évolution constante et permanente du code et des fonctionnalités du dernier MediaWiki signifie qu'il n'est plus possible de maintenir indéfiniment la compabilité avec les anciennes versions des logiciels.

Navigateurs
There is an ever-growing number of different web browsers in the world. Too many to actively test and support each one. To guide our practices around browser support, we have three levels of support. Each tier represents a different category of browsers.

Modern
This group (also known as Grade A) represents the highest level of support. Features take advantage of capabilities in modern browsers, while allowing a graceful fallback for older browsers. All features provided by the software (whether or not in a degraded form) must work in these browsers.

Browsers in this category are known (listed below) and actively tested against. Problems users perceive in these browsers are addressed with high priority.

Basic
The group (also known as Grade C) is provided the core functionality of the MediaWiki platform. Our HTTP responses are compatible with these browsers (e.g. HTTP features we rely on, character encoding, and image formats used by the content; must work in these browsers). In the front-end this means content is presented in a readable manner, and to some extent user actions can be performed.

Browsers in this category are known (listed below) and identified via a blacklist in the startup module. Problems users perceive in these browsers are addressed with high priority. Issue handling focuses mainly on ensuring provided functionality is not broken; if acceptable from a product perspective, this may result in the functionality (whether or not temporarily) no longer being provided for these browsers.

MediaWiki serves these browsers a JavaScript-less environment. The environment may lack certain visual features and extra functionally. The core functionality for these browsers must be maintained via traditional client-server interaction with full GET/POST page loads.

Unknown
This group (also known as Grade X) represents all other browsers. This includes browsers that are no longer developed or browsers not popular enough to justify the added maintenance cost for software development.

Browsers not included in any other group belong to this category. Problems users perceive in these browsers only are given low priority.

MediaWiki handles these browsers the same as Modern (Grade A) browsers and are thus assumed to be capable. This principle provides various important benefits:
 * New versions of modern browsers may temporarily be considered Unknown if they are not yet tested against by us. Treating Unknown browsers as capable ensures optimal user experience in these browsers.
 * Users of new and evolving browsers are given a chance to have a modern experience.
 * Users of less popular browsers based on, or derived from, known modern browsers are not negatively impacted (e.g. Iceweasel).

In practice the only difference between Unknown and Modern browsers is that we don't actively test against Unknown browsers. These browsers are given the full feature set.

Table de support des navigateurs
While the principles and different grades described above apply to MediaWiki core and extensions alike, the below browser support matrix applies to MediaWiki core only (and extensions that decide to follow it). Individual extensions may have their own support matrix distributing browsers among the different levels of support.


 * Quelques navigateurs mobiles sont listés ici. Comme indiqué précédemment, cette table ne vaut cependant que pour MediaWiki lui-même et son habillage pour les ordinateurs de bureau. Les extensions et/ou habillages conçus pour les navigateurs mobiles peuvent avoir une table de support différente.

PHP
La dernière version de MediaWiki fonctionne avec les versions de PHP entre et 5.6.

Les dernières versions de MediaWiki contiennent des fonctionnalités qui ne sont plus supportées par PHP 5.0, 5.1 et même 5.2 : toute tentative de faire fonctionner MediaWiki avec ces versions seront vouées à l'échec.

Base de données
MediaWiki est compatible avec une grande variété de serveurs de bases de données, bien que le support soit plus conséquent pour MySQL (MariaDB peut aussi être utilisé).

Le support pour les autres logiciels de bases de données va de faible à correct : les architectures pour lesquelles des disposent d'un certain support. Tout logiciel autre que MySQL ou MariaDB n’est pas recommandé pour une utilisation en production actuellement.

Serveur web
MediaWiki est compatible avec une large gamme de serveurs web du moment qu'ils soient capables de faire tourner PHP. Apache est le logiciel de serveur le plus utilisé et le plus testé. So long as the webserver version supports the required PHP version based on the matrix outlined here.
