Maybe.

Would help if all the documentation (and the "received wisdom") was in
agreement.
Going from 1.26.0 to 1.26.1 using a patch will be really easy (we hope).
But going to 1.27.x will need some work (delete all php files, etc). You
do delete all the Mediawiki files, don't you? :-)
I have been slightly confused about the release of "Mediawiki core"
(with no skins!) so I have decided to install the full version.
I tend to re-create LocalSettings.php quite a lot (ignoring the advice
of the installer)....
