I've just updated a wiki that was at Mediawiki 1.20, and had previously been updated before, to the newest version 1.27.1.
Everything went very well! However upon usage I found that a protected page that had been moved in the long past, when opening for edition, spit out errors - which wasn't the case before the update.
The errors were:
<b>Notice</b>: Undefined offset: 3 in <b>/var/websites/sp-mw/includes/logging/ProtectLogFormatter.php</b> on line <b>35</b> <b>Notice</b>: Undefined offset: 3 in <b>/var/websites/sp-mw/includes/logging/ProtectLogFormatter.php</b> on line <b>72</b>
I figured from the code that it was related with 'log_params' not being defined for that item in table 'logging'.
Apparently, during the update process what should have gone into 'log_params' was instead set as 'log_comment' during the database update (I'm guessing).
Anyway, when I changed the database so that
| 291 | protect | move_prot | 20090402141948 | 2 | Nevinho | 0 | Sexta_poética | 0 | Poema do dia | | 0 |
became
| 291 | protect | move_prot | 20090402141948 | 2 | Nevinho | 0 | Sexta_poética | 0 | Poema do dia | Poema do dia | 0 |
Everything worked and the message down the page also changed from a "from to DESTINATION" statement to a proper "from ORIGIN to DESTINATION" statement.
Hope this can get fixed in the updater or somewhere else for other people updating like me.
Cheers!
