Yes it does seem to work but I don't even know what is the proper way to upgrade a mediawiki 1.5 installation.
The process should be something like: 1/ back up your data 2/ lock database / shutdown site 3/ put new files from the tar.gz 4/ run ./maintenance/update.php (that will deal with database changes) 5/ unlock database / restart site
A followup question from the audience: What's the best, "approved" way to lock the database? I can think of several ways I could go about it, but for all I know, a simple button to click somewhere might have been provided.
