Important: Original version notice

Original version of Wikilog was abandoned in 2012 by Juliano F. Ravasi.

However, there is still a version of Wikilog (named 1.3.0) available in official Wikimedia repositories (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/r/branch/mediawiki/extensions/Wikilog, https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikilog).

We DO NOT recommend using it, because nobody develops it or adds new features, there are only Wikimedia developers who are replacing deprecated API calls with their newer versions.

Requirements

MediaWiki 1.19-1.27, or Mediawiki4Intranet 1.18.
A MySQL or PostgreSQL database backend.
ParserFunctions extension.

Installation

Download the extension and install it as `./extensions/Wikilog`
Backup your database and local configuration, it is always a good idea
Add minimal configuration to your LocalSettings.php (100 should be the first unused in your wiki namespace number):

  require_once( 'extensions/Wikilog/Wikilog.php' );
  Wikilog::setupBlogNamespace( 100 );

(Optional) You can override some configuration from WikilogDefaultSettings.php
Run the `php maintenance/update.php` script in order to create or update the tables used by the extension.

Updating

Update code in `extensions/Wikilog`
Run `php maintenance/update.php` to upgrade DB structure. Some updates

  may not need it, but an extra run will never harm :)

If you are upgrading to MediaWiki4Intranet Wikilog from the original version of Wikilog taken from the official repositories (see "Original version notice" above), or from MediaWiki4Intranet Wikilog older than 9 Oct 2013, AND you have you should also run:

  php maintenance/patchSql.php extensions/Wikilog/archives/fill-wikilog-comment-meta.sql

in your Wiki document root. This command should be only run once.
