Hello,
You update by replacing the old files with the new
ones, then running
the script at maintenance/update.php
Does that mean that I can simply copy the contents of new
"mediawiki-1.15.2" directory to the original "mediawiki-1.11.0
directory? (Retaining the LocalSettings.php & AdminSettings.php from the
1.11.0 version). Or can I delete the old wiki dir & copy the new dir?
So to update you should just surround it with a
"foreach wiki..."
I would like to upgrade them individually, rather than
scripting them all.
Good prectises advise making a db backup before
updating.
mysqldump -u name_admin -p namewiki > namewik-Back.txt
To my knowledge the wiki's are not sharing the files, but how could I
determine that?
Thanks once a again!

Hello,
Excuse me if my question sounds like a newbie, but I still am; I
inherited the Wiki Server some months ago. I am preparing to upgrade
MediaWiki 1.11.0 to 1.15.2, and we currently have 30 wiki’s.
My understanding is, I can upgrade each wiki individually. Having said
that, can I perform the install process of the new version, replace the
old wiki’s with the new install individually? Hence not having any
databases being affected except for the wiki I upgrade.
I trust that this question is in keeping with this forum.
Thanks,
Graham
Install process?
You may be taking a wrong approach.

Only the database of that wiki is affected.
So to update you should just surround it with a "foreach wiki..."
Good prectises advise making a db backup before updating.
If the wikis are sharing the files, it may be a bit harder, since you
would need to break the links for updating individually (or update all
dbs one after other at the same time).
