The explanation on collapsible tables is only relevant, if you are editing the English Wikipedia. If you want the feature in your own wiki you have to change certain files as explained under http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Collapsible_tables.

Upgrading

At the time of writing the latest version of MediaWiki was 1.18 and the Manual for Upgrading related to this version. To me only certain things are relevant. The backing up of relevant files relates to the

• database (done on a weekly basis, download of the latest backup should be enough)
• extensions
• images
• skins

and the LocalSettings.php

For the first time I used SVN to unpack the new file. In the Terminal I had to login using a command like ssh user@domain and was prompted to enter my password. I had to navigate to the folder to which I wanted to install the new files. Having started from "cd /home/user/subdomain/" I could change folders with an initial slash. Afterwards I just had to put

svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_18/phase3

and in a few seconds the files were unpacked and put in the specified folders.
