If you need help, you should post there, and not on the talk page.

This extension helps to replace the MediWwiki webroot with another version. Hallo Welt! GmbH uses this to upgrade BlueSpice in a docker environment from free to a pro version by entering a valid token. It should be used only in a special setup where all wiki data is outside of the webroot, otherwise data will be lost after execution.

Installation

# in webroot
git clone https://github.com/hallowelt/mediawiki-extensions-BlueSpiceUpgradeHelper.git extensions/BlueSpiceUpgradeHelper
echo "wfLoadExtension('BlueSpiceUpgradeHelper');" >> LocalSettings.php

Usage

Got to Special page Special:Subscription_Manager and enter token, if token is valid the upgrade process can be started and the wiki will reboot after installation is complete.
