Yep, the database layout of MediaWiki changes with the minor version |

1.4.x -> 1.5.x (etc.). |

I believe the MediaWiki developers generally provide update scripts [small |
| 13 |
downtime] and/or a way to export the data, delete the db, recreate the db, |
| 14 |
and import the data [large downtime]. |

AFAICT, this is a MediaWiki issue and not a Gentoo issue. You might get |
| 17 |
better responses using their support system instead. |
