Please Debian, keep your version of MediaWiki up to date at least to the oldest stable release, and please send your fixes upstream when you find unfixed bugs.
I am not a Debian developer, and I agree that sending fixes upstream is good. But surely you're aware that the whole point of "Debian stable" is that it does ***not*** change to newer versions of programs after release, apart from security fixes? Debian is well known for taking the word "stable" seriously (e.g. [1]) and it's a reason people choose them.
