PHP 4
MediaWiki requires PHP 5. If you are using PHP 4, upgrade now! It's no longer supported by the PHP group, and has lots of bugs.

Many shared hosting providers offer both PHP 4 and PHP 5, running simultaneously. Ask your provider if they can do this.

If for some reason, you really really need to run MediaWiki on PHP 4, you should use the MediaWiki 1.6.x branch from 2006:


 * Download PHP 4 compatible MediaWiki

Old branches
If your MediaWiki installation is heavily modified, it may be difficult to incorporate the latest official changes to MediaWiki. To support such users, we maintain old branches of our code for up to a year.


 * Download old MediaWiki The 1.12.2 release download is corrupt; please update directly to 1.13, pull files from SVN, or wait for a new release. Sorry for the inconvenience!
