When mediawiki is updated the wiki will break but each time has been  
different. The fix is the same: run update.php. (it might be  
upgrade.php.)

There are various solutions:
o add media wiki to the manual update list. Give me the ability to  
update via sudo.

o maybe run the update nightly. I don't know if it is safe to do that.

o write a script to detect the update and to run the php if changed.

o wait for a break as we do now and wait for me to run the php.

Others?
