Compatibility/pt-br

O MediaWiki se esforça para manter ampla compatibilidade entre as versões, e com uma gama de softwares atuais e antigos. Ao mesmo tempo, não será possível manter a compatibilidade com o software antigo indefinidamente, devido a características do mais recente desenvolvimento da MediaWiki, e visto que a base de código está em constante evolução.

Navegadores
There is an ever-growing number of different web browsers in the world. Too many to actively test and support each one. Isto descreve as nossas práticas em todo o suporte ao navegador. 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
O suporte de nível básico fornece a funcionalidade principal da plataforma MediaWiki. Nossas respostas o HTTP são compatíveis com os navegadores (por exemplo, o HTTP apresenta, e contamos com isso, codificação de caracteres, e formatos de imagem usados ​​no conteúdo; deve funcionar nesses navegadores). No front-end, isso significa que o conteúdo é apresentado de forma legível, e até certo ponto as ações do usuário podem ser realizadas.

Browsers nesta categoria são conhecidos e identificados por meio de uma lista negra no módulo de inicialização. 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 may serve 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.

Matriz de suporte do navegador
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.


 * A few mobile browsers are included here. However as noted earlier, this matrix is for MediaWiki core and its desktop skin.

Browser support matrix (mobile)
(Last updated: March 2017)

Mobile-specific skins e.g. Minerva skin provided by MobileFrontend and/or extensions designed to run on mobile devices have a different support matrix. The support matrix is compiled from the data provided by the analytics user agent breakdown dashboard. Where browser usage is over 5% a modern experience is supported. Basic support is provided for anything over 0.1% over the 12 months.

PHP
A última versão da MediaWiki roda em qualquer versão do PHP até o PHP 5.5. Neste momento, o HHVM tem [$hhvm-bugs problemas não resolvidos] e podem causar a quebra de algumas funções. Please note that MediaWiki is not yet fully compatible with PHP 7.1, and will emit warnings, but most functionality should work as expected. The Wikimedia Foundation runs MediaWiki on HHVM. Features that are not used on Wikimedia wikis might not work correctly on HHVM.

MediaWiki 1.23 and 1.27 will continue to receive security updates until their respective end-of-life dates (see version lifecycle) and retain compatibility with their respective versions of PHP.

Base de dados
O MediaWiki é compatível com muitos servidores de banco de dados, embora para o MySQL o suporte é melhor. (O MariaDB também pode ser usado.)

O status de suporte para outros softwares de banco de dados varia de fraco para razoável. MediaWiki provides database abstraction layers for PostgreSQL and SQLite, which are generally well-maintained. The included abstraction layers for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server are essentially unmaintained and are unlikely to work out of the box. Running MediaWiki on anything other than MySQL or MariaDB is not recommended for production use at this point.

Servidor Web
MediaWiki é amplamente compatível com todos os principais servidores web que podem invocar PHP. O Apache é o mais usado e testado. Apache is the most used and tested. HHVM and nginx are good choices as well.

 * Software marcado em azul é suportado, enquanto que software marcado em alaranjado não é suportado.
