Hello all, Well this is good I went from not knowing anyone who could work on this to three who may have an idea. Bruno you mentioned something about a roll out on Nov 4th. I won't be able to start updates on the production sites until after our blackout on Nov 12 so I can push updating production to early December. I will like do the update from version 1.22.2 to 1.25.3 in stage before then. However, I still need to find who can update the skin or the sites will all look like https://enstage.opensuse.org/Main_Page with the warning on the page (I can remove the warning but by changing the default skin to Vector but this would remove the SUSE branding). From what I have received in response is that there isn't anyone that knows who to contact to update the skin. Does anyone know anything about content? This upgrade may brake a few of the plugins as they are old as well, but I don't know what ones are needed or if we could change them for something newer. I think this is the skin that the sites use. https://github.com/openSUSE/opensuse-themes/tree/master/bento It is the right name of the skin used "bento" and is under openSUSE. Do any of you know who is over that or if this is the right one? I sent a message to Artem Chernikov in Germany who did a change to the footer.html to ask him as well. Thanks for your help, Micah On 10/19/2015 06:35 AM, Bruno Friedmann wrote:

Hello Again, I have not heard anything back about this. Is this where I go to get this resolved? Could you please tell me who is over support for the OpenSUSE wiki's. If this is the place, here is some more info.
Here are the system Requirements for mediawiki now. You can see this at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download I just received an email that tomorrow they are releasing a new security patch 1.25.3 ( you may join the watch list that puts these out at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l)
System Requirements
MediaWiki requires PHP 5.3.3+ and eitherMySQL https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:MySQL5.0.2+ or one of the other three possible stores. For more information, please read the pages onsystem requirements https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Installation_requir...andcompatibility https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/compatibility.
Attention *To MediaWiki ≤ 1.22.x users:*Support of these branches was discontinued. Please update to a newer version of MediaWiki:
* MediaWiki 1.25.2 (download https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.2.tar.gz) - stable * MediaWiki 1.24.3 (download https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.24/mediawiki-1.24.3.tar.gz) - legacy * MediaWiki 1.23.10 (download https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.10.tar.gz) -LTS
Now the opensuse wiki's are at version 1.22.2 (https://en.opensuse.org/Special:Version). They haven't been updated for over two years, security or anything. I have updated https://enstage.opensuse.org/Main_Page but as you can see it has broken the theming. The theme needs to be fixed and dependency on pluggins need to be looked at before updating if the site is to look the same as it does now.
Unless there is a response to this that says otherwise, I will start updating stage using the new release 1.25.3 on (Oct, 28) and will push the upgrade to production early November.
Thanks, Micah

Hello,
I am the one that updates the MediaWiki installs for the OpenSuse language wikis. I have started to update https://enstage.opensuse.org/Main_Page and the Skin and a few pluggins or all the sites are not compatible with the new version of mediawiki. Could you get me in contact with the developer/s so that we can work on fixing this?
Thanks, Micah Roberts If getting updates and having a renewed version for the wiki is a nice to have, I just want to inform you about the global community aspect and usage. Just to be sure we don't shoot each others.
openSUSE will throw out the new Leap 42.1 on November 4th, and as such a number of teams are working with the wiki from now until certainly 2nd or 3rd weeks of November.
We all know that upgrading can be tricky and often drive to breakage. It would be nice this time, that we don't ruin community effort in terms of content. So I would ask if you can keep this in mind, when the upgrade take place.
Thanks for your effort, and help.
