See [[Sysadmin/Update_wiki]].

Our Mediawiki instances are installed from Subversion. We update them by simply switching
 +
to a different stable branch.
    +
Because the "extensions" directory comes from a different
 +
repository, we need to take care not to confuse Subversion's little mind when it sees it.
 +
Hence, we keep around a copy of the original extensions directory from the main repository.
 +
 +
mv extensions extensions.keep
 +
mv extensions.orig extensions
 +
svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/phase3
 +
mv extensions extensions.orig
 +
mv extensions.new extensions
 +
cd extensions
 +
svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/extensions
 +
cd ..
 +
 +
Now run update scripts:
 +
 +
cd maintenance
 +
php update.php
 +
 +
If the SemanticMediaWiki extension is enabled (we don't use it), also refresh its tables:
 +
 +
cd extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance
 +
php SMW_setup.php
