The Extension:FCKeditor_(Official) page states: If you have a wiki running 1.15 or lower version of MW, you can still use the extension available from http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/FCKeditor/ So ran an svn checkout as described, got: Checked out external at revision 5377. Checked out revision 65032. edited LocalSettings.php as described. MediaWiki won't load (blank page), messages log states: Apr 14 18:27:17 wiki php-cgi: PHP Fatal error: Class 'FCKeditor' not found in /opt/mediawiki/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php on line 91
The interpretation of "or lower" as "_any_ earlier version" is too broad:) You shouldn't expect any extension in the trunk to work with anything other than trunk version of MediaWiki. In this particular case, although FCKeditor presumably works on 1.15 and probably 1.14, it relies on AutoLoader feature that wasn't present in 1.6. By the way, 1.6 is out of support, so if you really care about your wiki's security, you should upgrade. Which, accidentally, will also give you access to all the latest extensions.
Thanx for the enlightenment. Maybe some adjustment to that page for the noobs like me might be in place ;)
