Fine with me. I see no reason why 4.5.3+ should not work with this extension. A field test with a couple of widgets confirmed this. If @Yaron_Koren is OK with this change, Robert could add the patch to Gerrit.

1.32 is 5 years old, which is pretty old...

I have no general objection. But when looking at what is out in the wild, I am still regularly confronted with 1.2x, including early versions here, and with a pile of 1.31, which completely failed to upgrade due to the epical MCR upgrade disaster. Anyhow, forward-ports will be nice if possible. :)

According to that policy, you have to first upgrade to 1.35/1.39 and then to a recent version. Otherwise, you're going to miss on important schema changes and corrupt your databases. (because we remove old schema updates altogether).

I will check back and ask if somebody tried to update this wiki created with MW 1.34. I do not understand why a MW 1.34 should work with a MW 1.35 schema in this situation. If it does, well ... If not, I would assume that the old backup with the MW 1.34 schema was used again, which does not explain why MW 1.35 schema changes should be in there. I will ask what they did to have background information about it.

It sounds like it, but this is way out of my range of expertise to figure out and fix/harden.

Regrettably, the issue is persistent. After about 2 hours, the respective wiki was down again. I will go with the cron solution for now. The problem is far more significant than expected.

This issue happened to me not when installing freshly but when updating, not upgrading, my instance with git. After the update, I am now on:

Kghbln added a comment to T285402: "Enable responsive MonoBook design" should be a (renamed) core skin preference.

How can I find out which skins support this responsive mode? Pretty sure Medik does not, which is why I set the following in the "LocalSettings.php" file:

$wgDefaultUserOptions['skin-responsive'] = 0;
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'skin-responsive';

This assumes that no skin supporting this mode is installed for the wiki. This option uses quite a lot of space on the special page "Preferences," which is why I rather not show it if this feature is not supported anyway.
