I updated my wiki to r101337 just now and tried to run the following command and was presented with the following output: ---- $ php maintenance/update.php Do not run update.php on this wiki. If you're seeing this you should probably ask for some help in performing your schema updates. If you know what you are doing, you can continue with --iknowwhatimdoing ---- This error message is frightening and overly vague. It was introduced in r92109. It should include one or more of the following: a link to a manual or help page on mediawiki.org explaining what the actual issue is here and what needs to be done to resolve it; a reference to the global configuration variable ($wgMiserMode); a link to [[mw:Manual:$wgMiserMode]]. It looks like the help output was modified, but I think most people wouldn't think to look there (the only reason I knew that the help output was modified was by someone pointing out r92109 to me).
I assume this is a XXXwmf branch?
(In reply to comment #1) > I assume this is a XXXwmf branch? No, I did it in trunk so we wouldn't lose it every time we rebranch a deployment branch.
How about instead we set a configuration switch so it only has to happen on the cluster, and it works for everybody else?
Well I was reusing $wgMiserMode for that purpose, but apparently real people use miser mode too.
renamed by Aaron in r101370 to --force
Stopped abusing $wgMiserMode in r101867.
Thanks, Chad. <3
