Active MediaWiki developers should instead download from Git to get the latest version of the MediaWiki software. The git repository has earlier versions of the software, so it is possible to switch to ("check out") a particular release.

הערות


 * PHP 5 support has been required since MediaWiki 1.7 – if you are using PHP 4, you should upgrade now! PHP 4 is no longer supported by the PHP group and has many bugs and vulnerabilities.  Many shared hosting providers offer both PHP 4 and PHP 5, running simultaneously. If you cannot upgrade, you can use MediaWiki   .  Note that this version is no longer supported.


 * MySQL 5 support is required since MediaWiki 1.19 – if you are using an older version of MySQL and cannot upgrade, you can use MediaWiki 1.18.6 (download) . Note that this version is no longer supported.

Alternatives to manual installation
Some users may prefer to skip manual installation by using a pre-integrated MediaWiki software appliance or hosting services; repositories of some distros also increasingly offer packages for MediaWiki, with different degrees of frequency and extensions coverage (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo).

Legacy releases
If your MediaWiki installation is heavily modified, it may be difficult to incorporate the latest official changes/updates to MediaWiki. To support such users, we maintain old branches of our code for up to a year for the legacy release and up to three years for the legacy long term support release.
