Description Dan Jacobson 2006-12-12 15:49:38 UTC Judging from websites I've visited, mediawiki doesn't put its own version number anywhere in the webpages it makes, not even in the comments, nor even in HTTP header! Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-12-12 16:58:02 UTC Well, there's Special:Version. Plonking the MediaWiki version number in parsed HTML means we'd have to invalidate the parser caches every time we bumped it, which isn't a happy idea. Is there any particular benefit to this?
