MediaWiki 1.17 is obsolete, it's been EOLed. Sounds like you're trying to run the most recent version of an extension on an outdated MediaWiki install.

Doesn't sound like a bug to me.

Get rid of the extension. Not a critical problem. Probably just an incompatible extension.

useless.

EOL = End of Life

No more security patches. No more support. No longer something you should use.

MediaWiki 1.17 was legacy (supported but you should upgrade to 1.18 which was current) for 6 months. Now that 1.19 is out 1.17 is not supported at all.

Upgrade your wiki.

How To Remove :

1. Comment the following line in Localsettings.PhP:

require_once("$IP/extensions/OnlineStatusBar/OnlineStatusBar.php");

2. Run the following Sql query through the Special:Asksql special page if you have Asksql installed:

DROP TABLE online_status;

Or if you don't have Asksql, install it or download an SQL file that you can run against your wiki's database at http://www.mediafire.com/?8m4kk0qvf4m9kvh

3. Delete the unneeded extension folder. Using a command line program such as Unix Terminal, change the directory to the extensions folder of your MediaWiki root and run this command:

sudo rm -rd OnlineStatusBar

Enter your password and press enter.

In the future, please stop adding "critical" or "blocker" to bugs that don't deserve that status, Brandon. Those are for VERY FEW bugs.

NO. On BUGZILLA, not on wikimedia wikis.

Back to INVALID. You probably shouldn't change that again.
