ugh apparently my old mediawiki install was old enough that when I try to load it into the new version of mediawiki, it says it's too old to upgrade

a version so old that wikimedia doesn't show it on the download page anymore, just tells you to upgrade

I'M TRYING

okay it's working now. I just need to remember how I fucked mediawiki into not allowing registrations, so I can re-enable it and then make my new user an admin

oh no my wiki has a photo of my resume on a floppy disk, complete with Old Name.

here I thought I was gonna be able to upgrade my identity without needing floppy disks, but obviously I was mistaken
