As a sidebar note, I just upgraded my own MediaWiki install from an ancient 1.15 to the latest 1.23.2 and a very simple and straight-forward process it was. Only required commenting out the installed extensions initially then loading the latest versions before un-commenting them and everything working perfectly.

I also switched from MySQL to MariaDB at the same time as that is now the preferred backend. Also problem-less.

(/me wishes I could say the same for the upgrade process of some other programs)

MediaWiki 1.23.3 will be released tomorrow ("27th August between 20:00-22:00 UTC"), so we should updated dev when we get a chance.
We've scheduled time to do this on 4 September between 13:30-15:00 PT.
Let's remember to put wiki in read-only mode when we begin this work so folks don't loose any in-progress edits:

Production was updated today.  I did the following:
  * downtime wiki.mo Nagios checks  
  * hardhat wiki.mo
  * set wiki.mo into read only mode & push changes to webheads
  * grab backup of wiki DB on mysql slave for prod DB cluster
  * make backup copy of wiki directory on genericadm
  * upgrade wiki software itself 
  * run DB maintenance script (for update)
  * upgrade WikiEditor extension
  * upgrade ConfirmAccount extension & run DB maintenance script (for extension changes) again
  * make changes to LocalSettings.php & push changes to webheads
  * unhard-hat wiki.mo

Christie and JD did some basic tests to verify that the upgrade had not broken the production environment.
