Hi Jan, thank you very much for your kind assistance. I must try to learn this up as it is bugging me with every upgrade. For now, I reverted to Mediawiki 1.14.0 and it is working fine. Just want to make sure things are okay after this rather massive transfer... not that all the websites are big but even the newly-started ones with only a few pages require the same amount of work each, LOL. Will take a rest for a few days before I try to work on the upgrade.
Thank you once again, Jan.
