Download from Git instead
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.

Support for PHP's register_globals directive has been removed since. If you have PHP 5.4 or later installed on your server, you do not need to worry about this. If you have PHP 5.3 or earlier, make sure that this directive has been turned off. If you cannot turn register_globals off on your system, you can use MediaWiki 1.23.9 (download).

MySQL/MariaDB 5 support is required since – 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.

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.

Development releases
If you want to run on the latest development (i.e. alpha) version, you either download Nightlies, or download from Git.

From Git you can either download the complete repository (about 528 MB) or the latest revision only (about 85 MB; this is often called a shallow clone: less time and smaller downloads).

You can also view the in your browser.

Old releases
You can find tarballs (with extension ) of all versions of MediaWiki back to March 2005 (the earliest being MediaWiki 1.3.11) in the MediaWiki download archives.

To browse, including even older versions, see the tags of the Git repository.
