[Mediawiki-l] Register Globals

[Fred Bauder]

When I run install.php on ibilio with the new release MediaWiki-1.1.0 I get
the Warning message:

WARNING: register_globals is not on; MediaWiki currently relies on this
option.

Is this in fact true? I don't think I have access on Ibiblio to php.ini on
Ibiblio.

Or was this patch added?

If I need the patch and it works, Where would it go and could someone send
it to me. I might be able to be ibiblio to change it but probably not if it
affects all ibiblio accounts.
