+ has been removed.
+* (bug 40448) Removed mediawiki.legacy.mwsuggest module, and removed the
+ following that has become obsolete:
+ - globals $wgEnableMWSuggest and $wgMWSuggestTemplate.
+ - mw.config.values wgMWSuggestTemplate and wgSearchNamespaces.

- has been removed.

- following that has become obsolete:
- - globals $wgEnableMWSuggest and $wgMWSuggestTemplate.

-
-== Compatibility ==
-
-MediaWiki 1.20 requires PHP 5.3.2. PHP 4 is no longer supported.
-
-MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
-support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM
-DB2 and Oracle.
-
-The supported versions are:
-
-* MySQL 5.0.2 or later
-* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
-* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
-* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
-
-== Upgrading ==
-
-1.20 has several database changes since 1.19, and will not work without schema
-updates.
-
-If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
-repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
-due to database schema changes.
-
-If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
-new database fields are filled with data.
-
-If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
-changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
-break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
-
-See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
-
-For notes on 1.19.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
-
-== Online documentation ==
-
-Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on
-MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except
-for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain):

-
-== Mailing list ==
-
-A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:

- https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
-
-It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
-going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
-
-== IRC help ==
-
-There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net.
