-== Compatibility ==
-
-MediaWiki 1.19 requires PHP 5.2.3. PHP 4 is no longer supported.
-
-MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but

-DB2 and Oracle.
-
-The supported versions are:
-
-* MySQL 5.0.2 or later
-* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
-* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
-* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
-
-== Upgrading ==
-
-1.19 has several database changes since 1.18, and will not work without schema
-updates.
-
-As of 1.19 several JavaScript interfaces that were deprecated or superseeded in
-MediaWiki 1.17, MediaWiki 1.16 or even earlier have been removed. They are
-listed at the top of the "Other changes" list as a "BREAKING CHANGE".
-
-If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
-repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
-due to database schema changes.
-
-If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
-new database fields are filled with data.
-
-If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
