[Scummvm-devel] Wiki upgrade on Sunday May 1

Hi again,

As per my plans I updated our wiki to mediawiki 1.26.2 this morning. That also meant updating all the extensions and the skin.
It all seems to work for me now, but if you find an issue, please let me know.

Notes:
  - I had to deactivate the MultiUpload extension because it is broken and causes some pages to be blank. If this is an issue for anybody I would look at alternative extensions (for example UploadWizard).
  - I also deactivated the MobileDetect extension and Mobile skin. If that is an issue (i.e. if our ScummModern skin doesn't work well on phones), we will need to either port the Mobile skin to mediawiki 1.26 or find an alternative skin. The ScummModern skin works well for me on iPad, but I have no way to test on smaller devices.

I expect this will take a couple of hours at most, including backup, migration to new version and tests. During that time the wiki will probably be unavailable for about 20 minutes and the rest of the time will be read-only.

It is all working now on my test server and ready to roll out. My plan is to do the upgrade on Sunday March 27 during the morning UK time. The wiki will be locked to read-only for between 1 and 2 hours, and will be completely unavailable for a portion of that time.
