See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42640#c16 MW 1.20.x doesn't have the ApiQueryORM class. Users can only download the git master version of UW at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UploadWizard and the extension distributor at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor?extdist_extension=UploadWizard just offers 1.19x as default choice, but then fails saying "Invalid response from Extension Distributor remote client." The UploadWizard git repo has no tag for MW 1.20.x. Hence users can only download the git master UW. That, however, requires the ApiQueryORM class to be present. Therefore it doesn't work with a vanilla MW 1.20.x install. MW 1.20.x is, at the time of this writing, the latest stable version. So please, either * fix this such that people can download somewhere a version of UploadWizard that is compatible with MW 1.20, or * make sure that git master remains compatible with the latest stable release, or * find some other simple solution such that people can use UW with MW 1.20.x.
I created a tag "mw1.20" on the commit before the one making use of ApiQueryORM. We could conditionally load the new API module depending on MW version. Can you first specify the exact nature of the problem though? Running master with MW 1.20 should not cause any problems due to ApiQueryORM unless you actually hit the API module.
See bug 42640. I can't tell you more than that; I personally don't have an MW 1.20 install. I don't know why the user's MW 1.20 install even tried constructing that class. Maybe it's some peculiarity of EasyPHP-12.1?
Nope, it's definitely not related to EasyPHP-12.1. Verified this with a local install of MW 1.20 (on Mac OS X 10.7.5). The reason for the non-compatibility is that in MW 1.20 (up to and including 1.20.2), ApiQuery instantiates all generator modules in its constructor, and ApiQueryUploadCampaigns is a generator module. So you really mustn't register ApiQueryUploadCampaigns with the autoloader unless $wgAutoloadClasses['ApiQueryORM'] is set. Also, you may set $wgAPIListModules['uploadcampaigns'] = 'ApiQueryUploadCampaigns'; if $wgAutoloadClasses['ApiQueryORM'] is set.

More precisely: ApiQuery::__construct() calls ApiQuery->makeGeneratorList(), going through all registered prop and list and modules and testing each one whether it is_subclass_of() ApiQueryGeneratorBase. is_subclass_of() instantiates the class, which in the case of ApiQueryUploadCampaigns needs ApiQueryORM. That was removed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/22936/ because it loads all modules' classes. Alas, that was after MW 1.20.
