Package: mediawiki Version: 1:1.39.5-1~deb12u1

Hi,

Mediawiki ships with .htaccess files which contain outdated access control directives.

for instance, /usr/share/mediawiki/vendor/.htaccess contains:

Deny from all

rather than the more current

Require all denied

The new syntax was introduced in Apache 2.4, shipping since at least Jessie, April 2015.

Wouldn't it be time to go with the new syntax, as less and less people now continue to use the access_compat module?

Thanks,

Alain
