 * I like it, however, due to the signature limit, I've changed it a bit for myself. — color probe (talk | contribs | [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]]Support team) 18:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Upgrade to 1.10.2 from 1.9 fails
and My wiki now says

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "Title::loadRestrictions". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wikidb.netpage_restrictions' doesn't exist (localhost)".

If I go back to mediawiki-1.9.4 everything works. I imagine it was a fix for the vulnerability but now it is so secure I cannot use it. Has anyone had this problem?

I have gone to the MediaWiki 1.10.2 installation page - no joy.

I did their suggested mv LocalSettings.php to LocalSettings.php.old and the setup file does not work entirely (I can fill in the first three fields and there is no submit or next button to finish. I did the refreshLinks.php and the other suggested fixes - no joy.

Has anyone else had this problem?


 * These questions belong to Project:Support desk. However, I think you should run the update.php commandline script from the maintenance folder. Sorry for such a late and short answer, but I'm rather busy these days. — color probe (talk | contribs | [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]]Support team) 13:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Unblock
Hello CP, you know how large of a contributor I am here at this wiki. I was in my opinion unjustly blocked from Wikipedia. If you could put a word in at wikipedia:User talk:PatPeter, I would be grateful. -PatPeter,  MediaWiki Support Team  17:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't have any reasonable stance on this. If you can, get it to something like Requests for comment or the ArbCom. I don't really have time for MediaWiki/Wikipedia business now, but if all else fails, email me and I might give it a more thorough view. I thin my time here is done. I wish you the best of luck on the Support desk and reformatting it. — color probe (talk | contribs | [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]]Support team) 23:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
