Description Brion Vibber 2005-05-02 01:53:47 UTC PHP 5 doesn't allow re-assigning $this in an object, which the new Group code seems to do. This breaks the wiki fatally on PHP 5. Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2005-05-02 02:08:30 UTC Moved the checks back to the factory method Group::newFromName (were already present in Group::newFromId).
