I would have waited for 1.23. But your first step is either upgrading the
extensions or removing them. Most broken extensions cause havoc trying to
debug. Once you remove all your extensions you can add them back one by one
until your wiki breaks. At that point you know where the problem is.

I want to upgrade (long overdue) to MW 1.22.7 .
Backed up the files and DB. did "php update.php" returns no errors.
I didn't upgrade the extensions because I have lots of them, and have found
this the hardest part of upgrades. (I guess I was hoping they would work).
Reloaded existing (old) LocalSettings.php
All the above done from command line.
Result: blank wiki. My thinking (funny how writing this out causes a
better
thought process) is that my old extensions are causing the problem(s).
I think I should try to delete extensions from LocalSettings.php and see
how
that improves the situation. I believe however I have extensions that
possibly
have not been updated and I'll be missing some extension functions I was
relying on.
Yet I'll be happy to have the ability to add new ones (a bit of work for
sure).
My main objective is to get Semantic Wiki folded into the mix.
Any comments quite welcome, and thank you for any help in advance.
(PS. I'm able to revert to old setup due to careful backups of files.
update.php update
for 1.22.7 doesn't seem to harm the reversion to 1.20.2).
Also, so much work has been done on 1.20.2 that I'm loathe to lose the
extensions that were part of that work, if they're out of date with 1.22.7
.
