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!
