Hello
I would like to know why, instead of upgrading from a very old Mediawiki version the following procedure is not possible :
You can but with just a dump/restore, at the very least, you'll lose user accounts (I'm not entirely sure how that works for images either).
Restoring everything - including accounts and preferences - is possible if you're not afraid of databases.
Thank you for your answer. Yes I am afraid of databases, especially the one I use : MySql !
So, a reinstall Export/Import procedure should work for pages but will lose users data and images ?
Is it possible to ask the software team to write an Export and Import functionnality including images and users data ? This could avoid all the upgrading problems?
