This is a page for a step-by-step tutorial on updating the MediaWiki, for future reference.
Step 1: Backup everything
ProleWiki already has a rudimentary and simple backup system, thanks to comrade MxAsh. We have the backup of the all files in another server.
Step 2: Download the tarball
Go to the webroot directory[a] and download the tarball of the new MediaWiki release:
wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.tar.gz
And extract them:
tar -xvf mediawiki-1.39.1.tar.gz
Step 3: Move folders
Move all folders except uploads/[b] (where all uploads are stored) and resources/assets/.[c] Move all folders from mediawiki-1.39.1/ to the webroot, you may have to manually move each folder from mediawiki-1.39.1/resources/
Step 4: Update extensions and databases
Run this code inside the webroot to update a few extensions and save some work:
php composer.phar update
Unfortunately, not all extensions we use are able to be updated through this method. The following templates have to be installed manually:
CodeMirror ConfirmAccount ContentTranslation ContributionScores CreatedPagesList CSS Discord DismissableSiteNotice Echo EmbedVideo ExternalData Flow MassEditRegex Matomo[d] MobileFrontend OpenGraphMeta Popups SandboxLink TemplateStyles Thanks TimedMediaHandler Wikibase
Once they are all installed, go to maintenance/ and run
