1: You should always try to use matching versions of core and extension software.
2: English Wikipedia always uses the 'latest and greatest', so if you copy from them, so should you. 3: English Wikipedia community has the tendency to build some VERY complicated stuff, that uses dozens of templates and Lua modules for almost every single template call. That means that in order to have 1 working template, you need to find and import all these ’sub’-elements. 4: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Scribunto has a quite active discussion board that might be able to help 5: If you want to avoid complexity, you should probably avoid copying things from the English Wikipedia. Sad but true. DJ On Thu, Dec 25, 2014 at 11:14 PM, John Foster <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a mediawiki 1.23.### with next to last security update.
