Bug #: 32072
Summary: update.php has useless/obscure error message
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
Classification: Unclassified
I updated my wiki to r101337 just now and tried to run the following command
and was presented with the following output:
----
$ php maintenance/update.php
Do not run update.php on this wiki. If you're seeing this you should
probably ask for some help in performing your schema updates.
If you know what you are doing, you can continue with --iknowwhatimdoing
----
This error message is frightening and overly vague. It was introduced in
r92109. It should include one or more of the following: a link to a manual or
help page on mediawiki.org explaining what the actual issue is here and what
needs to be done to resolve it; a reference to the global configuration
variable ($wgMiserMode); a link to [[mw:Manual:$wgMiserMode]].
It looks like the help output was modified, but I think most people wouldn't
think to look there (the only reason I knew that the help output was modified
was by someone pointing out r92109 to me).
