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/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.0.tar.gz
And extract them:
tar -xvf mediawiki-1.40.0.tar.gz
Step 3: Move folders
The following folders should be preserved:
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
