Our webserver is going to be updating the PHP software installed on our box. We shouldn't see any downtime on the site when this happens on Dec 17th.
This does mean, however, that I can update the wiki software to the current stable version, 1.20 on the night of the 17th. I will back up the wiki database before the update's run and I'll make sure on IRC that everyone's saved their work and have paused before backing it up and updating. I don't foresee any problems and this will probably take about 10-15 minutes to update. (I have all the custom settings saved elsewhere already.)
Hopefully, we'll see a decrease in the parsing errors were infoboxes have gotten all borked and you have to hammer the refresh button 80 times before it'll display right.
Most of the extensions we use on our wiki are already updated to work with 1.20, so I doubt any of this will be problematic.

Thank God. That broken/screwy display of the info boxes is driving me nuts.

Re: Wiki Update
Haha. Well, the new version of MW builds the parser function extension into the software out of the box now. Also, given the fact that we're slightly behind on our PHP requirements for the current build of MW we have installed, this could also be contributing.

Re: Wiki Update
So I misread the email. The updates will begin on the 17th, and presumably continue until done. I'll let everyone know when the php's been updated so I can get an up to date SQL database backup minutes before I run the wiki's update.
Sorry. I'm sadface and disappointed as well.

Re: Wiki Update
The wiki has finally been updated to 1.20.2. Everything went fine, no errors or anything of the sort.
Huzzah!
Please let me know if you see anymore of those weird parsing errors with the infoboxes!
