Hey there, all.
I'm starting to investigate migrating a mediawiki instance from Fedora 7 and version 1.5.4/PHP 5.2.2/MySQL 5.0.37 to something a little more current. Naturally I'm almost a complete novice with wiki software so I'd like some ideas for where to begin my study. I'll be working through the current documentation and other thoughts are welcome.

Make backup. Download latest mediawiki (1.16.2) Replace old mediawiki with the newer one (keep images/, math/ and LocalSettings.php). Run maintenance/update.php Profit!
