My first guess is that this is due to $wgUseMetadataEdit being deprecated
in MediaWiki 1.16.0.  See:
 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseMetadataEdit
 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MetadataEdit

OpenMeetings.org currently uses MediaWiki 1.15.1 so I haven't run into
this issue yet.  If you like, feel free to use OM LocalSettings as a
template to build your site:

Yes, there are a number of code maintenance items that need time and
attention.  A new Gerrit branch would be helpful to track/merge code
changes, but until this is done Bugzilla tickets are probably the way to
go.

Take a look at the following for examples:

Also click the caterpillar in the upper right corner in these examples to
