Description Sergey Chernyshev 2009-05-25 17:16:15 UTC
When 'validate' modifier (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Widgets#Validate_modifier) is used on widget parameters, sites that use PHP version < 5.2.0 break because filter extension is not available: http://us.php.net/manual/en/filter.installation.php

Proper solution is to upgrade PHP, but code should be modified to display an error in place of a widget.

The oldest MediaWiki version currently supported is 1.19 and that requires PHP 5.2.3, hence closing this ticket as obsolete.

Waiting 5 years works pretty well - if nobody is crazy about it, means it doesn't need to be fixed ;)
