Re: [Semediawiki-user] Replace Text extension with 1.15

[Yaron K. <ya...@gm...>]

Hi Mary,

Okay, I tried to add backward compatibility for earlier versions of
MediaWiki to the Replace Text code in SVN. If you can, please try
getting the code from SVN trunk, and seeing if it works for you:

http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ReplaceText/

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a wiki that has MediaWiki less
than 1.16 running on it.

Thanks,
Yaron
