It's honestly been a long time since I went through the MediaWiki installer, but you're saying that this has been the way it is for multiple versions? There are users spending hours frustrated at a cached result. What's the virtue of caching the errors like this? And why do you think it's acceptable to release another version of MediaWiki with this issue? Compounded frustration is dangerous, especially in the installation phase. It's a quick way to get people to walk away from using MediaWiki altogether, isn't it? Alternately, do you feel there's not an issue here and that people should just find "Restart installation" on their own? From the bug reports, it seems like there's definitely a bug here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
