Tried one last time to update my wiki software and it backfired on me. It's
giving me a Database Error now "
Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate
a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "Title::loadRestrictions". Database returned error
"1146:
Table 'mmodomin_IC_20100819_115331.mwiki_page_restrictions' doesn't exist
(sql database location)"."
When I add in the command lines $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword to the
appropriate LocalSettings.php it seems to produce an internal server 500
error when using web browsers to view the site. I've gone to the php script
selector for my site and set it to use the PHP 5.0.0 new coding so the new
wikimedia software would be compatible.

Depends on if you want things to be fixed or not. As mentioned 1.6
isn't supported anymore, so if you find a bug or a problem or there's
a security hole, you'll be told to upgrade to a supported version.
*There are* security issues on that 4 years old version.
Not to mention the loads of improvements and new features that have been
added since.
You shouldn't have problems updating that, although having a backup is
advisable. Given that it is really young, you may prefer to export
(Special:Export) the 18 pages you created, and start over again.
Hint: You can change the wiki permissions so that you don't allow
anonymous users to edit, without having to protect each page individually.
