I would suggest to first upgrade MediaWiki to MW 1.27 and deal with adding further extensions like Semantic MediaWiki etc. to it in a second step.
OK, that's what I was thinking too. I seem to recall seeing a bundled-up MediaWiki+Semantic extension; is that really no different than just installing the semantic extension on top of an existing MW installation?
You might confuse this with the Semantic Bundle Rob pointed at in his e-mail. However I do no longer recommend the bundle since it was not updated in quite some time.
If you are using shared hosting when it might be a bit more complicated to install Semantic MediaWiki since it is best installed with Composer.
Yes, it's a shared hosting setup, but I do have shell access. Reading on Composer, it looks like it installs everything into subdirectories in my directories and doesn't require sudo access. Is that sufficient just to have shell access or does Composer require sudo rights?
Thanks for the pointers.
No, for Composer you do not need sudo, actually it is discouraged to use it with root rights. Well if your shared hosting offers Composer this is they way to go.
