Re: [Mediawiki-l] Error message: Parameter 1 to Language::getMagic()

As a follow up to my previous post regarding the error message 'Parameter 1 to language::GetMagic()...' After some research, I have confirmed that this is a MediaWiki bug and it has been fixed, but the fix is only available in version 1.16 for some reason. The bug details are at http://www
