Responses to common questions

[edit]
memcached stops working
You're using an old version of memcached. Upgrade.
MediaWiki namespace stops working
Touch the LocalSettings.php file to clear caches
Can I use a database from 1.8 with an older version, like 1.6?
No.

Observations

[edit]
  • Need an upgrade FAQ for some of the common recurring support questions that can't be covered in the main documentation page
  • Might need to increase the standard protection level to stop well-meaning users from messing up the documentation
