MediaWiki Update - Why is it important?
MediaWiki is the world's most famous wiki software and the platform behind Wikipedia. In Switzerland, many companies, organizations and authorities use MediaWiki for internal wikis, knowledge databases and documentation portals. MediaWiki is extremely reliable, scalable and proven - the software has been running stably for over 20 years and hosts millions of Wikipedia articles.
MediaWiki updates are important for security and new features. MediaWiki 1.42 brings PHP 8.3 support, more modern extension APIs and better performance. Migration from MediaWiki 1.39 LTS to newer versions requires careful planning as many extensions must be checked for compatibility. MediaWiki LTS versions like 1.41 offer long-term support until 2027.
MediaWiki Update Costs - What does a professional migration cost?
The costs for a MediaWiki update vary depending on wiki size. The following factors influence the price:
Number of Wiki Pages & Users
Large MediaWiki installations with tens of thousands of wiki pages and many users require longer migration times. All pages and templates must be checked after the update.
Installed Extensions
MediaWiki extensions must be checked for compatibility with the new version. Popular extensions like VisualEditor, Semantic MediaWiki and Cite are tested by us.
Custom Skins & Templates
Custom MediaWiki skins must be adapted for new versions. Templates and parser functions often require adjustments for new MediaWiki APIs.
LDAP/SSO Integration
MediaWiki integrations with LDAP, Active Directory or SAML-SSO must be tested after the update. Permission structures are preserved.
💡 Tip: MediaWiki LTS versions offer long-term support. We recommend MediaWiki 1.41 LTS for productive wikis with stable extensions. The software behind Wikipedia is extremely reliable for corporate documentation.
