I did a comparison between my wiki install (version 1.23.1 upgraded in
two steps to 1.23.3) and the latest version of MediaWiki (version
1.23.3).
The 'images' directory in the copy of my wiki (cpwiki) is missing as I
ran 'diff' on another machine (i.e. not the server hosting the
website) and didn't want to copy those files (13 GB).

"GlobalFunctions.php" (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:GlobalFunctions.php ) seems to be
important... and the change makes me wonder whether a bug is lurking
somewhere in this.
I don't know why I have the difference... but I tend to think it shouldn't
be there-- if the patches were applied properly.
I looked at the last two patch files ( mediawiki-1.23.3.patch.gz ,
mediawiki-1.23.2.patch.gz ). The latest patch (
mediawiki-1.23.3.patch.gz ) has changes to 'GlobalFunctions.php'.
I did the 1.23.3 patch on August 29th. Temporally, this doesn't align with
when the problems started; my problems started a couple of days before
then. In any case, I don't understand how this could explain the problems
I have... but it is something that looks funny.
Thanks,
Michael
