Upgrade from 1.2 -> 1.3: "wfSpecialDisambiguation is broken"
Hi,

I just upgraded some of my MediaWiki installations from the latest 1.2
release to 1.3.3. Everything seems to work fine except the
"Spezial:Maintenance&subfunction=disambiguations" page.

The page gives me the following error

"wfSpecialDisambiguation is broken. Link tables have changed..."

I tried reinstalling as mentioned on the IRC channel by Jeluf but it
didn't help. Any hints which upgrade script I should invoke to produce
the necessary change?

Thanks for any help

Greetings
Tim

You'd have to rewrite the code for that function to work.

AFAIK it's not in very high demand, as nobody's touched it yet to my
knowledge... Make sure it's reported in Bugzilla, we can add fixing it
again to the 1.4 release requirements list.
