This update brings mediawiki to version 1.16.2, which is the latest stable release at the moment, but currently also the only supported and recommended release by the mediawiki developer community.
Further changes:

<path>, which is autoupgraded upon package updates.
* any wiki path entered in /etc/mediawiki/instances will be
autoupgraded upon package updates.
* /var/www/wiki is entered into this list automatically, but
you can remove it if you don't want this instance to be
autoupgraded.
* opensearch and suggestions are enabled by default
* several bug fixes (see changelog).
