Hi all
I think it's time to make decision what to do with the wiki.
Current status:
* wiki.phpmyadmin.net is currently read only due to excessive vandalism
which was hard to block
* Mediawiki currently running wiki.phpmyadmin.net is no longer security
supported [2]
* all content pages were copied to GitHub wiki [1]
* I'm slowly going through wiki pages and integrate that to our user
documentation if it fits there
[1]: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/wiki
[2]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825127
Possible solutions:
* bring Mediawiki on wiki.phpmyadmin.net back to usable state
- we will have to handle security fixes and so on
- need some way to prevent vandalism
* use wiki on GitHub
- it's for free with the repository
- the wiki is quite limited (no categories, no search, ...)
- having wiki content as Git repository is great
* use other solution for wiki.phpmyadmin.net
- we could use cleaned up wiki content which is currently used on GitHub
- I'd really prefer something with Git integration
- preferably use GitHub authentication, so that we do not have to
maintain another list of users
- one of possible tools to do that is ikiwiki
My suggestion:
I don't think that maintaining Mediawiki is way to go. From remaining
choices I slightly prefer using wiki on GitHub as it needs no
maintenance from us, however it limits wiki features.
Please share your opinion.

Welcome to phpMyAdmin version 4.6.5.2, a patch-level release which fixes
an issue with exporting certain character sequences including a
backslash (\), such as \r\n.
Because this issue
[#12765](https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/12765) affects
export functionality, we do recommend updating when possible.
As always, downloads are available at https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/
Previously fixed in 4.6.5.1:
* an issue affecting a small number of users using
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] or $cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'].
* an issue affecting the create table dialog where the partition
selection tool was overzealous and made it difficult to create a new table.
Highlights from the 4.6.5 release:
* Fix for expanding in navigation pane
* Reintroduced a simplified version of PmaAbsoluteUri directive (needed
with reverse proxies)
* Fix editing of ENUM/SET/DECIMAL field structures
* Improvements to the parser
A full list of changes is available in the ChangeLog file included with
every release.
