We saw this type of thing happen more than once on the CommitFest:March
page, if memory serves. Apparently there is something very broken about
the copy of mediawiki we are using --- would someone look into that?

Conflict detection not working, perhaps? Wouldn't be too surprising.
But right now I'm just asking that somebody from -www find out exactly
what version we are running.

I don't know which version we installed for wiki, but in order to get mediawiki running for postgresqldocs, I had to use HEAD of mediawiki. However I note that Greg submitted his 8.3 compatibility before the latest release of mediawiki which is 1.12.0. In theory, we should be fine in that regard. Sincerely, Joshua D.

That's easy enough: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Special:Version So we're on 1.12alpha (r31813) Now what that actually *means* is a whole different question :-) I don't know mediawiki nearly well enough to commment. //Magnus

O.k. the latest is 1:12.0 stable... we need to get that updated. Joshua D.
