Thread:Project:Support desk/Two problems after failed 1.22 install/reversion to 1.21.1

Product Version MediaWiki 1.21.1 PHP 5.3.24 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.5.35-cll

Using Softaculous I attempted an upgrade from MediaWiki 1.21 to 1.22. My wiki would then not work at all so I restored the backup I had made. There was an error restoring a missing table which my web host put right for me, but I am left with two outstanding problems that the web host says I should ask MediaWiki for help with.

1. On every page, instead of section Edit links I see  (not clickable - cannot even click and drag to highlight it)

2. On my list of Special pages, under "List of pages" the first line reads & l t ; disambiguations & g t; (spaces inserted to preserve original code) and under "Media reports and uploads" the first line reads & l t ; filepath & g t; (again, spaces inserted)

I would very much appreciate any help anyone could give. I know little about databases but am prepared to dive into MySQL if the solution is fairly straightforward.
