+These instructions help you to upgrade your mediawiki installation.
+
+Please NOTE: at this point it is supposed that you've already read
+RELEASE-NOTES and done full wiki backup, as described here:
+http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki
+
+
+Run the update script
+=====================
+
+Note: Make sure there's an AdminSettings.php file in the wiki root, and it
+contains up to date information. The user needs full permissions (shell
+access) on the database. If there is no AdminSettings.php, create it:
+
+$ cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR}
+$ cp AdminSettings.sample AdminSettings.php
+
+Now edit AdminSettings.php.
+
+The preferred method of performing the update is using the command-line
+maintenance script, although it is also possible to re-run the web-based
+installer. To run command-line maintenance script, change to the maintenance
+directory and execute the update script:
+
+$ cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/maintenance
+$ php update.php
+
+MediaWiki will inspect the existing schema and update it to work with the new
+code, adding tables and columns as needed.
+
+For alternative ways to upgrade your wiki, please, take a look at:

+
+
+Upgrade extensions
+==================
+
+Certain extensions have been updated in order to work with MediaWiki 1.13. Be
+sure to upgrade to the latest versions of such extensions. You might need to
+perform manual updates to custom extensions.
+
+
+Test the update
+===============
+
+Once the upgrade has completed, browse to the wiki and check basics such as
+viewing and editing pages to ensure things still work as expected.
+
+Visit Special:Version and check that the version shown is correct.
