I've never done an updgrade of Media Wiki. I'm on 1.4.7 and heading up to 1.5.5
I'm looking for reassurance from people that the contents/images etc of the Wiki will be left intact if normal upgrade/installation methods are used. I can't imagine for a moment that upgrading will make data disappear but lack of experience makes me cautious.
Not to diminish what Rob said (docs and backups), but to reassure you.. I did it and it worked for me. =)
Actually, the install and update functionality has been quite a spectaculat experience.
