== MediaWiki 1.35.0-rc.0 ==
== Upgrading notes for 1.35 ==
1.35 requires PHP 7.3.19 or above (up from 7.2.9). (T257879)
1.35 has several database changes since 1.34, and will not work without schema
updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
many hours on a large site).
Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
MediaWiki 1.35 is the next LTS after 1.31, and will be supported for around 3
years.
MediaWiki has a lot of both soft and hard deprecations, and code removed. As
always, make sure your versions of extensions match the MediaWiki version,
and updates may be required to any custom extensions.
See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
Some specific notes for MediaWiki 1.35 upgrades are below:
* (T259685) Zeroconf (zero-configuration) VisualEditor/Parsoid doesn't work
using SQLite as the database backend for MediaWiki. This is due to the lack
of write concurrency in SQLite. If you wish to use this feature, it is
recommended to use MySQL/MariaDB rather than SQLite.
For notes on 1.34.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
=== Configuration changes for system administrators in 1.35 ===
* (T72470) $wgLegacyJavaScriptGlobals is now false by default. This feature
will be completely removed in a later MediaWiki release.
==== New configuration ====
* $wgDiffEngine — This can be used to specify the difference engine to use,
rather than MediaWiki choosing the first of $wgExternalDiffEngine, wikidiff2,
or php that is usable.
* $wgSearchMatchRedirectPreference — This configuration setting controls whether
users can set a new preference, search-match-redirect, which decides if search
should redirect them to exact matches is available. By default, this is set to
false, which maintains the previous behaviour without preference bloat. Change
your site's default by setting $wgDefaultUserOptions['search-match-redirect'].
* $wgPoolCounterConf['SpecialContributions'] — Per-user concurrency in the use
of SpecialContributions can now be limited by setting this appropriately.
* $wgPasswordPolicy — PasswordCannotBeSubstringInUsername is a new password
policy check. Similar to the existing PasswordCannotMatchUsername check, this
check ensures that a user's (case-insensitive) password cannot be a part of
their username. e.g. password = MyPass, username = ThisUsersPasswordIsMyPass.
* $wgLogos — This new configuration setting combines the now-deprecated $wgLogo
and $wgLogoHD settings into a single, associative array. It provides support
for a new key, 'wordmark', for setting a horizontal wordmark to show next to
the graphical logo. To do this, set 'wordmark' to an array with 'src' set to
the path of the wordmark image, and 'width' and 'height' for its dimensions
in pixels. $wgLogos inherits the existing support provided by its predecessor
settings: '1x' mapping to the path of the logo as a 135x135px raster image
(equivalent to $wgLogo), and '1.5x', '2x', and 'svg' operating as before for
$wgLogoHD. If $wgLogos is unset, $wgLogo and $wgLogoHD values are read for
temporary backwards compatibility. (T232140)
* $wgWatchlistExpiry — (EXPERIMENTAL) This enables the new watchlist expiry
feature. The database table (watchlist_expiry) for this is created regardless
of this setting, but all other aspects of the expiry feature are controlled
by it. Enabling in production is discouraged for the time being. A future
MediaWiki 1.35 release will advertise this feature once it is stable.
* $wgWatchlistPurgeRate — This sets the chance of expired watchlist items being
purged on each page edit. Only has effect if $wgWatchlistExpiry is true.
* $wgWatchlistExpiryMaxDuration — This is the maximum definite relative duration
for watchlist expiries. Only has effect if $wgWatchlistExpiry is true.
* $wgImgAuthPath  This can be used to override the path prefix used when
handling img_auth.php requests. (T235357)
* $wgAllowedCorsHeaders — This is a list of headers which can be used in a
cross-site API request.
* $wgHTTPMaxTimeout and $wgHTTPMaxConnectTimeout — These allow site
administrators to limit the timeouts used by the HTTP client libraries.
This only affects callers using HttpRequestFactory and the deprecated
wrappers in the Http class.
* $wgCdnMaxageStale — This controls the Cache-Control s-maxage header for page
views when PoolCounter lock contention indicates that a stale cache entry
should be sent.
* $wgForceHTTPS — This makes the HTTP to HTTPS redirect be unconditional and
suppresses various hacks needed to support mixed HTTP/HTTPS wikis. We
recommend this be set to true on pure HTTPS wikis.
* $wgCookieSameSite — This setting allows login cookies to be sent with
SameSite=None. This is required for cross-site CentralAuth auto-login after
Chrome 84.
* $wgUseSameSiteLegacyCookies — This adds a compatibility hack to
SameSite=None cookies for browsers which implemented an incompatible draft
version of the specification.
==== Changed configuration ====
* $wgResourceLoaderMaxage (T235314) — This configuration array controls the
max-age for HTTP caching through the Cache-Control header. It has uses the
"versioned" key for urls that do have a version parameter, and the
"unversioned" key for urls without a version parameter. The sub keys for
"client" and "server" are no longer supported in MediaWiki 1.35.
* $wgEnableOpenSearchSuggest — This boolean variable is deprecated and no longer
used. The OpenSearch API is now always enabled.
* $wgAuthManagerConfig and $wgAuthManagerAutoConfig — These can now use the
'services' option in provider specifications.
* $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] —
- The defaults have been updated. If you were relying on the default values,
you may need to update your configuration.
- The 'URL' parameter, previously allowed for backwards-compatibility, has
been deprecated. Use 'url' instead.
* $wgXmlDumpSchemaVersion — Default is now set to XML_DUMP_SCHEMA_VERSION_11, so
dumps use the new dump format per default. Consumers of XML dumps should not
be affected if they ignore any unknown tags they encounter. Also, the format
is effectively unchanged for revisions that only contain the main slot. The
--schema-version option can be used with the dumpBackup.php script to set the
dump format. (T238921)
* $wgParserConf — This configuration is now deprecated. It has been
effectively constant since 2008, and is ignored by core code.
Configure the ParserFactory service in order to customize the Parser used.
* $wgAutoloadAttemptLowercase — This has been deprecated, and the default value
changed to false.
* $wgAllowImageMoving — This configuration setting is now deprecated. Instead,
use $wgGroupPermissions; e.g., to revoke sysops' ability to move images use
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['movefile'] = false.
* $wgAllowImageTag — This configuration is now deprecated; future parsers will
not support direct use of the HTML <img> tag in wikitext.
* $wgUseTwoButtonsSearchForm — This has been deprecated. If you maintain a skin
that relies on this and wishes to let system administrators change it, you
should convert it to a config variable specific to your skin. If you're using
it to configure your wiki, you should check individual skins to see whether
they have local skin config for the feature and use that.
* $wgPasswordPolicy — The deprecated policy 'PasswordCannotBePopular' has been
removed. Use PasswordNotInCommonList instead which covers many more passwords.
* Backwards compatibility for using an associative array
(e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' => 'bad-ip' ]) for $wgProxyList has been removed. This
was deprecated since 1.30. Please convert these arrays to indexed/sequential
ones (e.g. [ '127.0.0.1' ]).
* $wgShellRestrictionMethod — This now defaults to 'autodetect', which will
enable sandboxing for shell commands using firejail, if it's installed. To
disable restrictions, set it to false.
* $wgLegacyJavaScriptGlobals  This deprecated setting now default to false,
instead of true, ahead of its planned removal.
==== Removed configuration ====
* $wgSysopEmailBans — This setting, deprecated in 1.34, was removed. To let
sysops block email access, use $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['blockemail'].
* $wgDBWindowsAuthentication — This setting had no effect anymore after support
for SQL Server was removed in 1.34. (T230418)
* $wgProfileOnly — This setting, deprecated in 1.23, was removed. The profiler
output should instead be configured via $wgProfiler['output'].
* $wgProfileLimit — This setting, deprecated in 1.25, was removed.
Set $wgProfiler['threshold'] instead.
* $wgDebugTimestamps — This setting was removed. It affected the text output
produced via $wgDebugComments, if enabled.
* $wgSkipSkin — This setting, deprecated in 1.23, was removed. To disable a
skin from being shown, use $wgSkipSkins.
* $wgUseSquid, $wgSquidServers, $wgSquidServersNoPurge, and $wgSquidMaxage —
These, deprecated in 1.34, have been removed. Use $wgUseCdn, $wgCdnServers,
$wgCdnServersNoPurge, or $wgCdnMaxAge instead.
* $wgDisableCounters — This, deprecated in 1.25, was removed. The feature that
it controlled was already removed in 1.26, but the variable remained existent
with a value of `false` for backward-compatibility.
* $wgMaxGeneratedPPNodeCount — This setting was removed. It only affected
Preprocessor_DOM, which was deprecated in 1.34 and removed in this release.
* $wgFixArabicUnicode and $wgFixMalayalamUnicode — These, deprecated in 1.33,
were removed. The fixes are now always enabled for their respective languages.
* $wgAllowTitlesInSVG — This, unused and deprecated since 1.34, was removed.
* $wgEnablePartialBlocks — This setting, deprecated when it was added in 1.33,
was removed. Partial blocks are now always enabled.
* $wgLocalInterwiki — This setting, deprecated in 1.23, has been removed.
* $wgContentHandlerUseDB — This setting, deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
* $wgMultiContentRevisionSchemaMigrationStage — This setting must no longer
be set locally. If the migration stage was set to anything other than
SCHEMA_COMPAT_NEW locally, update.php must be run after removing the setting.
Usage of the setting in code is deprecated. The setting will be removed
completely in 1.36.
* $wgEnableRestAPI — This setting is no longer obeyed by MediaWiki core, and
should not be set set locally. Usage of the setting in code is deprecated; it
is now set true by default. The setting will be removed completely in 1.36.
* $wgObjectCaches — The 'slaveOnly' option for SqlBagOStuff, deprecated in 1.34,
was removed. Use 'replicaOnly' instead.
=== New user-facing features in 1.35 ===
* (T204618) Whitelisted the aria-hidden HTML attribute for all elements in
wikitext.
* (T13456) Special:EditPage, Special:PageHistory, Special:PageInfo, and
Special:Purge have been created as shortcuts for each action.
Special:EditPage/Foo redirects to title=foo&action=edit, with PageHistory,
PageInfo, and Purge corresponding to action= history, info, and purge
respectively. When linked to, its subpage is used as the target. Otherwise,
it displays a basic interface to allow the end user to specify the target
manually.
* (T139221) The generated table of contents is now a navigation landmark role
for assistive technologies.
* (T245931) interwiki map API doesn't report foreign language if
$wgInterwikiMagic=false
* The form at ?action=watch has a new dropdown list to support expiry dates for
watchlist items (if $wgWatchlistExpiry is true).
=== New developer features in 1.35 ===
* A Docker based local development develpoment environment configuration is
included (T238224) and DEVELOPERS.md has been added with usage documentation
and links to further help.
* If CSP is enabled, extensions can now add additional sources using the
ContentSecurityPolicy::addDefaultSource, ::addStyleSrc and ::addScriptSrc
methods (e.g. $context->getOutput()->getCSP()->addDefaultSrc( 'example.com' ))
* Extensions can now specify classes and namespaces to be autoloaded by the
test autoloader, by setting the "TestAutoloadNamespaces" and
"TestAutoloadClasses" properties in extension.json. (T196090)
* (T250977) extension.json now allows "SearchMappings" which maps the canonical
name of the search engine (used in wgSearchType and wgSearchTypeAlternatives)
to a specification using the ObjectFactory specification. This allows
extensions to register Search Engines using namespaced classes.
* Added getters for OutputPage's robot, index and follow policies;
getRobotPolicy() returns the entire policy as a string in the form
<index policy>,<follow policy> while getIndexPolicy() and getFollowPolicy()
return their respective policies as a string.
* The ResourceLoaderSiteModulePages and ResourceLoaderSiteStylesModulePages
hooks were added to allow changing which wiki pages these modules contain.
* The SkinFactory now allows skins to be specified as an ObjectFactory spec,
allowing the construction of skins with services injected.
* ContentHandlerFactory for most ContentHandler static methods. It has been
added to the constructors for many classes to improve SOLID / GRASP.
* FileDeleteForm's constructor now accepts a user as the second parameter.
Support for not passing a user has also been hard-deprecated and will be
removed in 1.36.
* The ParserPreSaveTransformComplete hook was added.
* The ParserBeforePreprocess hook was added.
* The ResourceLoaderSkinModule class now has a "legacy" feature that loads
the stylesheets previously part of the "mediawiki.legacy.shared" and
"mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint" module.
Those modules are now deprecated and no longer loaded by skins.
For skins needing to retain these styles, you will need to load these
styles via a module using the ResourceLoaderSkinModule class.
See Vector and Monobook for examples.
* ParserOutput now has methods addExtraCSPStyleSrc, addExtraCSPDefaultSrc
addExtraCSPScriptSrc for parser tags/functions to be able to add sources
to the Content Security Policy.
* The HtmlCacheUpdater service was added to unify the logic of purging CDN cache
and HTML file cache to simplify callers and make them more consistent.
* The MultiHttpClient code will fallover to non-curl if curl_multi* is blocked.
* Preferences which use HTMLTitlesMultiselectField can make use of
MultiTitleFilter class for saving title text to/from article IDs in user
preferences.
* OutputPage::addHtmlClasses() was added to allow injecting CSS classes on
to the <html> element on page load.
* The SkinAddFooterLinks hook is added to allow extensions to add items to skin
footers. Previously this had to be done via SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec.
Doing so using that hook is now hard deprecated.
* A new BlockPermissionChecker service was introduced for checking
block-related permissions.
* The support of 'database' type of extensions has been added to allow 3d party
databases like Percona be used as storage. See T226857, T253248.
* Three new return parameters have been added to the
EditPageGetCheckboxesDefinition hook. Handlers of this hook are no longer
restricted to defining checkboxes. See the documentation of
EditPage::getCheckboxesDefinition() for more details.
* New flag File::RENDER_TMP was added in order to allow
File::generateAndSaveThumb and File::trasform to render a thumbnail without
saving it to the storage.

==== Removed external libraries ====
* phpunit/php-invoker (dev-only).
Removing this unbreaks development on Windows systems, in exchange for losing
time limits in running unit tests.
* The jquery.getAttrs module was removed.
=== Action API changes in 1.35 ===
* The 'suggest' parameter of action=opensearch has been deprecated.
The API behaves the same with and without this parameter.
It was previously used by $wgEnableOpenSearchSuggest to partially
disable the API if set to false. Specifically, it would deny internal
frontend requests carrying this parameter, whilst accepting other requests.
* Integer-type parameters are now validated for syntax rather than being
interpreted in surprising ways. For example, the following will now return a
badinteger error:
- "1.9" (formerly interpreted as "1")
- " 1" (formerly interpreted as "1")
- "1e1" (formerly interpreted as "1" or "10", depending on the PHP version)
- "1foobar" (formerly interpreted as "1")
- "foobar" (formerly intepreted as "0")
parameters. Ranges should be assumed to be enforced.
* Many user-type parameters now accept a user ID, formatted like "#12345".
* The 'assert' parameter used by all API modules now supports the value 'anon'.
When specified, the API will return the 'assertanonfailed' error if the user
is logged in.
* action=edit now supports the 'baserevid' parameter for edit conflict
detection, as an alternative to 'basetimestamp'. Note that self-conflicts
will continue to be ignored if 'basetimestamp' is set, but not if only
'baserevid' is set.
* A new module was added to change the content model of existing pages.
Use action=changecontentmodel. Unlike Special:ChangeContentModel, the api
module does not work for pages that do not already exist.
* If $wgWatchlistExpiry is true, the following API changes are made:
- action=watch accepts a new 'expiry' parameter analagous to the expiry
accepted by action=userrights, action=block, etc., except it must be no
greater than $wgWatchlistExpiryMaxDuration, or an infinity value.
- action=query&list=watchlistraw returns pages' watchlist expiry dates.
* (T249526) action=login will now return Failed rather than NeedToken on
session loss.
=== Action API internal changes in 1.35 ===
* The Action API now uses the Wikimedia\ParamValidator library for parameter
validation, which brings some new features and changes. For the most part
existing module code should work as it did before, but see subsequent notes
for changes.
- The values for all ApiBase PARAM_* constants have changed. Code should have
been using the constants rather than hard-coding the values.
- Several ApiBase PARAM_* constants have been deprecated, see the in-class
documentation for details. Use the equivalent ParamValidator constants
instead.
- The value returned for 'upload'-type parameters has changed from
WebRequestUpload to Psr\Http\Message\UploadedFileInterface.
* Validation of 'user'-type parameters is more flexible. PARAM constants exist
to specify the type of "user" allowed and to request UserIdentity objects
rather than name strings. The default is to accept all types (name, IP,
range, and interwiki) that were formerly accepted.
* Maximum limits are no longer ignored in "internal mode".
* The $paramName to ApiBase::handleParamNormalization() should now include the
prefix.
* (T245931) meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap no longer reports language or
extralanglink when $wgInterwikiMagic is false.
=== Languages updated in 1.35 ===
MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated regularly.
Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as changes to languages
because of Phabricator reports.
* The default targets for the ISBN search from Special:BookSources in English
have been updated for better international suppport. They will now be
BetterWorldBooks.com, OpenLibrary.org and Worldcat.org.
* (T237672) Changed the Moroccan Arabic language (ary) to the Arabic script.

* (T251369) Added language support for Seediq (trv), also known as Taroko.
* (T254854) Added language support for Southern Altay (alt).
=== Breaking changes in 1.35 ===
* MediaWiki no longer supports PHP 7.2; use PHP 7.3.19+ (T228346, T257879).

multiple keys. This affects mw.config.exists() and mw.user.tokens.exists().
* The internal variable $constructorOptions for the Parser & SpecialPageFactory,
exposed only for integration purposes, are now each replaced by a const called
CONSTRUCTOR_OPTIONS. This was a breaking change made without deprecation.
* ObjectCache::getWANInstance, deprecated in 1.34, was removed.
Use MediaWikiServices::getMainWANObjectCache instead.
* ObjectCache::newWANCacheFromParams, deprecated in 1.34, was removed.
Construct WANObjectCache directly instead, or use MediaWikiServices.
* (T231366) The ProfilerOutputDb class and profileinfo.php entry point,
deprecated in 1.34, was removed.
* SiteConfiguration->localVHosts, deprecated in 1.25, was removed.
Use $wgLocalVirtualHosts instead.
* The $wgContLanguageCode read-only variable was removed.
It has been a non-configurable copy of $wgLanguageCode since MW 1.8 (2006).
Use $wgLanguageCode directly instead.

been made, principally in related methods and properties being removed or made
private:
- disableCache(), deprecated in 1.28.
- serializeHalfParsedText() and the helpers unserializeHalfParsedText(),

WikiPage::makeParserOptions() or ParserOptions::newCanonical() instead.
- The ParserAfterUnstrip hook, believed to be unused, was removed without
deprecation.

- The support for the old signature for ParserFactory::__construct, which was
deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
- Parser::getDefaultPreprocessorClass(), deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
* MediaWikiTestCase::prepareServices(), deprecated in 1.32, has been removed
* The method ContentHandler::getSlotDiffRendererInternal is replaced with
ContentHandler::getSlotDiffRendererWithOptions. This breaks consumers which
call parent::getSlotDiffRendererInternal (no instances of which are known).
* TextContent::getHighlightHtml, deprecated since 1.24, has been removed. Use
TextContent::getHtml instead.
* ExtensionRegistry::load(), deprecated in 1.34, was removed. Instead, use

for HHVM was dropped) and these versions of PHP only support apcu. The default
"apc" entry in $wgObjectCaches now refers to APCUBagOStuff.
* Database::bufferResults(), deprecated in 1.34, has been removed.
* CannotReplaceActiveServiceException, ContainerDisabledException,
DestructibleService, NoSuchServiceException, SalvageableService,
ServiceAlreadyDefinedException, ServiceContainer and ServiceDisabledException
in the global namespace, deprecated in 1.33, were removed. Use the classes in
the MediaWiki\\Services namespace instead.
* The following methods in the Interwiki class were removed: ::fetch(),
::isValidInterwiki(), ::invalidateCache(), and ::getAllPrefixes().
* The UsersMultiselectWidget config 'allowArbitrary' is now false by default. To
accept arbitrary entries, pass in true for this config.

been removed. Use ::parseAsContent() or ::parseAsInterface(), as
appropriate.
* WikiPage::selectFields, deprecated in 1.31, was removed. Use ::getQueryInfo.
* The remaining static methods for MagicWord, deprecated in 1.32, were removed.
These were MagicWord::get(), ::getSubstIDs(), ::getDoubleUnderscoreArray(),
::getVariableIDs(), and ::getCacheTTL(). Instead, use MagicWordFactory (via
MediaWikiServices).
* ApiBase::checkTitleUserPermissions no longer accepts a User as the third
parameter. Passing a user was deprecated in 1.33.
* Sanitizer::setupAttributeWhitelist() and Sanitizer::attributeWhitelist(),
deprecated in 1.34, have been removed. They should not have been public.
* Passing a sequential array as the second parameter to

WikiPage::doEditContent.
* CommentStore::newKey, deprecated in 1.31, was removed.
* EditPage::$hookError was changed from public to private.
* Title::isValidMoveOperation, ::moveTo, and ::isValidMoveTarget, deprecated
in 1.25, were removed. Use the MovePage class and its methods instead.

- setCacheDuration
- setVary
* ApiDelete::delete and ::deleteFile, both of which were protected methods,
have been made private to allow a signature change.
* HistoryPager::revLink, ::curLink, ::lastLink, and ::diffButtons, which had
no visibilities defined, have been made private to allow signature changes.
* SpecialNewpages::revisionFromRcResult, which previously was protected, has
been made private to allow a signature change.
* DifferenceEngine::$mOldRev and $mNewRev, deprecated for public access in
1.32, have been removed.
* DifferenceEngine::revisionDeleteLink, which was previosuly protected, has
been made private to allow a signature change.
* DifferenceEngine::getParserOutput, which is protected, has had a breaking
signature change: the second parameter must be a RevisionRecord object,
rather than a Revision object.

* Revision::loadFromId and RevisionStore::loadRevisionFromId have been
removed.
* OutputPage::parserOptions doesn't accept an $options parameter anymore.
* MessageCache::getParserOptions previously did not have a visibility set.
It has been made private.
* SpecialUndelete::showDiff previously did not have a visibilty set. It
hav been made private to allow a signature change.
* The Skin no longer loads the "mediawiki.legacy.shared" or
"mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint" modules. The legacy shared styles must now
be loaded by the skin explicitly, either inherited via the
"mediawiki.skinning.*" modules, or by making your skin's main styles
module use the ResourceLoaderSkinModule class with the "legacy" attribute.
See Vector and Monobook for examples.
* Passing an ApiMain to the constructor of ApiResult is no longer supported.
This was deprecated in 1.25.
* ResourceLoaderWikiModule::invalidateModuleCache has been declared to
be @internal as part of a signature change. No known uses exist outside
of MediaWiki core.
* The ArticleAfterFetchContentObject hook, deprecated in 1.32, was removed.
Use ArticleRevisionViewCustom to control output.
* DatabaseBlock::isValid, deprecated in 1.33, was removed.
* HTMLUserTextField and HTMLUsersMultiselectField previously implied
required=true when exists=true. Form fields that use exists=true should also
set required=true if they are required.
* In DatabaseUpdater, the following methods are no longer public: dropTable(),
modifyTable(), modifyField(), runMaintenance(), copyFile(), appendLine().
In PostgresUpdater, the following methods are no longer public:
addPgEnumValue(), addPgIndex(), addPgExtIndex(). This change was made without
deprecation due to immediate danger of data corruption and loss, see T157651.
Extensions should instead use dropExtensionTable(),
modifyExtensionExtensionTable(), modifyExtensionField(), addExtensionUpdate().
The addExtensionUpdate() method can still be used to access any of the
protected methods on DatabaseUpdater.
* ResourceLoader no longer provides the (always-true) variables for wgEnableAPI
and wgEnableWriteAPI; they were deprecated in MediaWiki 1.31 and removed from
the PHP environment in MediaWiki 1.32.
* The wfSetupSession global function, deprecated in 1.27, was removed. Use the
persist() method of the right MediaWiki\Session\SessionManager object instead.
* The wfIsHHVM global function, deprecated in 1.34, was removed.
* GenderCache::doTitlesArray no longer accepts string values in its $titles
array parameter. Use Title objects (or other LinkTarget) instead.
* Unused CommentStore::MAX_COMMENT_LENGTH has been removed.
* User::checkTemporaryPassword() and User::checkPassword(), deprecated in 1.27,
were removed. Use AuthManager instead.
* All constants and class functions now have explicit visibility modifiers. This
means, per [[mw:Stable interface policy]], that these should now be considered
stable. This also helps MW align with PSR 2 and PSR 12. This was done based on
audits of the corpus of skins and extensions hosted in Gerrit. If you find any
that you need to be less restrictive (i.e. public or protected), please report
these so that we can re-evaluate or suggest workarounds.
* BaseTemplate::msgWiki(), deprecated in 1.33, was removed. Use ->msg() or
->getMsg() instead.
* QuickTemplate::msgWiki(), deprecated in 1.33, was removed. Use ->msg()
instead.
* WebInstaller::getErrorBox() and ::getWarningBox(), deprecated in 1.34,
were removed. Use Html::errorBox() or ::warningBox() instead.
* SpecialVersion::getExtensionCredits() and SpecialVersion::getSkinCredits()
have become private without deprecation.
* As part of the migration to a new hook system (T240307), the following classes
now require an additional HookContainer constructor parameter:
- AuthManager
- BadFileLookup
- BlockManager
- ClassicInterwikiLookup
- ContentHandlerFactory
- ContentSecurityPolicy
- DefaultOptionsManager
- DerivedPageDataUpdater
- FullSearchResultWidget
- HtmlCacheUpdater

- WatchedItemStore
* The following classes now require setHookContainer() to be called after
construction:
- AuthenticationProvider
- ResourceLoaderModule
- SearchEngine
* The parameters to ChronologyProtector::getTouched() and
ILBFactory::getChronologyProtectorTouched() were changed without backwards
compatibility.
* The deprecated $blacklist parameter to wfIsBadImage() has been removed.
* SpecialBlock::checkUnblockSelf no longer accepts an integer representing
an user ID as part of ongoing refactoring of SpecialBlock class.
* User::setInternalPassword() and User::setPassword(), deprecated in 1.27, have
been removed. Use User::changeAuthenticationData() instead.
* User::selectFields(), deprecated in 1.31, has been removed. Use
User::getQueryInfo() instead.
* The "legacy" serialization type in RESTBagOStuff, deprecated in 1.34,
has been removed.
* The populateContentModel.php maintenance script was removed. It has
been replaced by the populateContentTables.php script.
* The findHooks.php maintenance script, for the old hooks system, was removed.
* (T257278) Calling MediaWiki\Shell\Command::restrict() will now overwrite
any previous restrictions rather than adding to them, making it possible to
disable the default restrictions.
=== Deprecations in 1.35 ===
* The PHPUnit4And6Compat class, used to provide compatibility with PHPUnit 4, is
now deprecated. MediaWiki support for PHPUnit 4 ended with the removal of HHVM
support.
* LockManagerGroup::getDefault() and LockManagerGroup::getAny() are deprecated.
They seem to be unused. Just use get() directly, and catch any exception.
* AbstractBlock::getPermissionsError and AbstractBlock::getBlockErrorParams are
deprecated. Use BlockErrorFormatter::getMessage instead.
* The IP class is deprecated. Please instead use the Wikimedia\IPUtils class
from the new wikimedia/ip-utils library instead. Additionally, the RE_IP_*
constants are also deprecated. RE_IP_BYTE can be replaced with a class
constant on the IPUtils class, while the others will eventually be made
private.
* The following Language methods are deprecated: getFallbackFor,
getFallbacksFor, getFallbacksIncludingSiteLanguage. Use the corresponding new
methods on the LanguageFallback class: getFirst, getAll, and
getAllIncludingSiteLanguage.
* FileJournal::factory is deprecated. Use the constructor directly instead.
* AbstractBlock methods setBlocker(), getBlocker() are deprecated and will
become internal implementation of DatabaseBlock.
* Title::countRevisionsBetween has been deprecated and moved into RevisionStore.
* FileBackendGroup::singleton() is deprecated. Use MediaWikiServices instead.
* FileBackendGroup::destroySingleton() is deprecated. Test frameworks should
instead reset MediaWikiServices between test runs.
(MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase does this automatically.)
* GenderCache::singleton(), deprecated in 1.28, is hard deprecated. Use
MediaWikiServices::getGenderCache() instead.
* MediaWikiIntegrationTest::setContentLang() has been deprecated. Use
setMwGlobals( 'wgLanguageCode', 'xxx' ) to set a different site language
code, or setService( 'ContentLanguage', $myObj ) to set a specific Language
object. Service resets and $wgContLang will be handled automatically.
* MediaWikiIntegrationTest::assertType() has been deprecated, as part of the
work to move to PHPUnit 8; PHPUnit's assertInternalType() was deprecated, and
will be removed in PHPUnit 9. MediaWikiIntegrationTest::assertTypeOrValue(),
a wrapper for assertType(), has been removed immediately, without deprecation.
* AbstractBlock::getReason is deprecated, since reasons are actually stored as
CommentStoreComments, and getReason returns a string with no caller control
over language or formatting. Instead use AbstractBlock::getReasonComment,
which returns the CommentStoreComment.
* The global function wfGetRusage() is deprecated and will now always call the
getrusage() function without checking for its existence.
* The properties User::mBlock, User::mBlockedby and User::mHideName are
deprecated. Instead, use User::getBlock to get the block, then use
AbstractBlock::getByName or AbstractBlock::getHideName.Use the GetUserBlock
hook to set, unset or modify a block, including hiding or unhiding a user.
* Directly calling the MergeHistory constructor is deprecated. Instead, use the
new MergeHistoryFactory class.
* Language::factory() and Language::getParentLanguage() are deprecated, and so
is directly calling the Language constructor. Use the new LanguageFactory
class instead.
* Language::classFromCode() is deprecated. There is no reason it should be used
outside the Language class itself.
* Language::clearCaches() is deprecated. Instead, reset all services and set
Language::$mLangObjCache = [].
* The following functions from Language class are deprecated in favour of
respective functions in LanguageConverter:
- autoConvert
- autoConvertToAllVariants

* Language::MESSAGES_FALLBACKS, Language::STRICT_FALLBACKS were deprecated.
Use LanguageFallback::MESSAGES and LanguageFallback::STRICT respectively
* Language::$mLangObjCache is deprecated and should be removed in 1.36. Use
MediaWikiServices instead to get a LanguageFactory.
* Language::getMessagesFor(), getMessageFor(), and getMessageKeysFor() are
deprecated. Use LocalisationCache's getItem(), getSubitem(), and
getSubitemList() methods directly.
* OutputPage::getCSPNonce() is deprecated, use OutputPage::getCSP()->getNonce()
instead.
* DerivedPageDataUpdater::prepareUpdate accepted as its second parameter an
optional array of options. Specifying the value of the `oldrevision` key of
the array to be a Revision object, rather than a RevisionRecord object, is
hard deprecated. The same applies to the options parameter in
WikiPage::doEditUpdates.
* Skin::makeI18nUrl() and makeNSUrl() have been deprecated, no longer used.
* Title::countAuthorsBetween and Title::getAuthorsBetween were hard deprecated.
Use respective methods in RevisionStore instead.

constants and deprecated: $mWeekdayMsgs, $mWeekdayAbbrevMsgs, $mMonthMsgs,
$mMonthGenMsgs, $mMonthAbbrevMsgs, $mIranianCalendarMonthMsgs,
$mHebrewCalendarMonthMsgs, $mHebrewCalendarMonthGenMsgs,
$mHijriCalendarMonthMsgs and $durationIntervals.
* As part of dropping security support for IE 6 and IE 7,
WebRequest::checkUrlExtension() has been deprecated, and now always returns
true.
* The following ApiBase::PARAM_* constants have been deprecated in favor of
equivalent ParamValidator constants: PARAM_DFLT, PARAM_ISMULTI, PARAM_TYPE,
PARAM_MAX, PARAM_MAX2, PARAM_MIN, PARAM_ALLOW_DUPLICATES, PARAM_DEPRECATED,
PARAM_REQUIRED, PARAM_SUBMODULE_MAP, PARAM_SUBMODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, PARAM_ALL,
PARAM_EXTRA_NAMESPACES, PARAM_SENSITIVE, PARAM_DEPRECATED_VALUES,
PARAM_ISMULTI_LIMIT1, PARAM_ISMULTI_LIMIT2, PARAM_MAX_BYTES, PARAM_MAX_CHARS.
* ApiBase::explodeMultiValue() is deprecated. Use
ParamValidator::explodeMultiValue() instead.
* ApiBase::parseMultiValue() is deprecated. No replacement is provided;
generally this sort of thing should be handled by fully validating the
parameter.
* ApiBase::validateLimit() and ApiBase::validateTimestamp() are deprecated.
Use ApiParamValidator::validateValue() with an appropriate settings array
instead.
* ContentHandler (use ContentHandlerFactory):
- getForTitle
- getForContent
- getForModelID
- getContentModels
- getAllContentFormats
- protected $handler (not need anymore)
- cleanupHandlersCache (not need anymore)
* (T212738) The $wgVersion global is deprecated; instead, use MW_VERSION.
* $wgMemc is deprecated, use MediaWikiServices::getLocalServerObjectCache()
instead.
* ObjectCache::detectLocalServerCache() is deprecated, instead use
MediaWikiServices::getLocalServerObjectCache() or
ObjectCache::makeLocalServerCache().

MediaFileTrait::getImageLimitsFromOptions() instead.
* As part of work to replace the Parser, alongside the breaking changes listed
above, a large number of deprecations changes been made, to simplify the API
or because they will not be supported in replacement:
- Parser::doBlockLevels() (and BlockLevelPass class has been marked @internal)
- Parser::setFunctionTagHook()
- Parser::attributeStripCallback()
- Parser::fetchTemplate() - use Parser::fetchTemplateAndTitle() instead.
- Parser::enableOOUI() - use $parser->getOutput()->enableOOUI() instead.
- LinkHolderArray has been deprecated for public usage and will be
internal part of parser.
- The following parser-related hooks have been deprecated:
- InternalParseBeforeSanitize
Use an alternative hook which doesn't expose internal half-parsed state,
like ParserBeforeInternalParse or ParserAfterTidy
- ParserFetchTemplate
Use BeforeParserFetchTemplateAndTitle
- ParserSectionCreate
No replacement; <section> tag wrapping will be done by core in future.
- BeforeParserrenderImageGallery
No replacement; MediaHandler provides for customizable media rendering
- ParserBeforeTidy
Use ParserAfterTidy instead to avoid exposing internal half-parsed state
- ParserBeforeStrip
No replacement; stripping is no longer supported.
- ParserAfterStrip
No replacement; stripping is no longer supported.
- The accessor/mutator methods Parser::Options(), Parser::OutputType(), and
Parser::Title() have been deprecated; use the appropriate Parser::get* or
Parser::set* methods instead.
- Parser::firstCallInit() has been deprecated. The parser is initialized
fully on construction and so ::firstCallInit() no longer has any effect
when manually invoked.
- ParserOptions::setAllowExternalImages(), ::setAllowExternalImagesFrom(),
and ::setEnableImageWhitelist() have been deprecated. Future parsers
will not allow per-parser configuration of image filtering; use
site configuration instead.
- ParserOptions::getTidy() and ParserOptions::setTidy() have been deprecated.
These options no longer have any effect.
- Most methods of MWTidy, except for MWTidy::tidy(), have been deprecated;
tidiness is always enabled and not configurable.
- Version 1 of the parserTests file format has been deprecated. You'll need to
update your parser tests to version 2, which uses Remex tidy on all test
output by default. Support for parser tests with Remex tidy off will later
be removed entirely.
- $wgParser — This global variable, soft deprecated in 1.32, has now been hard
deprecated. Use MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getParser() instead.
(T160811)
* The signature of DefaultPreferencesFactory::__construct has been changed:
- LanguageConverter $languageConverter has been added.
and its usage with old arguments is hard deprecated.

deprecated as there is no reason they should be used outside the
LanguageConverter class and will be changed from public to private:
- mLangObj
- mUcfirst

- mURLVariant
- mUserVariant
- mHeaderVariant
- mMaxDepth
- mVarSeparatorPattern
changed from public to protected:

ResourceLoaderFileModule::compileLessString() instead
* The SquidPurgeClient and SquidPurgeClientPool classes have been deprecated.
Use MultiHttpClient or HtmlCacheUpdater instead.
* MimeAnalyzer::getExtensionsForType() and ::getTypesForExtensions() were
deprecated in favor of MimeAnalyzer::getExtensionsFromMimeType() and
::getMimeTypesFromExtension(), respectively. The new methods return arrays
rather than strings.
* Calling Action::factory and Action constructor with WikiPage has been
hard deprecated. Caller must provide an Article instance.
* ApiTestCase::doLogin, soft deprecated in 1.31, was hard deprecated.
* WebRequest::getLimitOffset is hard deprecated. Instead, use
::getLimitOffsetForUser and pass a User object.
