What's New in MediaWiki 1.22.5
Security:
- (bug 62497) SECURITY: Add CSRF token on Special:ChangePassword.
Bug Fixes:
- (bug 62467) Set a title for the context during import on the cli.
- (bug 58153) Make MySQLi work with non standard port.
- (bug 53887) Reintroduced a link to help pages in the default sidebar, that any sysop can customize by editing MediaWiki:Sidebar locally. The link now points to a mediawiki.org page which is guaranteed to exist. Nothing needs to be done on your end, but remember to adjust MediaWiki:Sidebar for the needs of your wikis. Everyone can help with the shared documentation by translating: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Translate/agg-Help_pages .
- (bug 53888) Corrected a regression in 1.22 which introduced red links on the login page. If you previously installed 1.22.x and have created a local page to make the red link blue, write its title as in MediaWiki:helplogin-url if you didn't already. Otherwise, you don't need to do anything, but you can translate the help page at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Logging_in .
- Fix custom local MediaWiki:Helppage values.
- mediawiki.js: Fix documentation breakage.
