+### Checklist for updating mediawiki
+- `wikiman.yaml`
+  - Check `mediawikiVersion` is still set to the version we want to target e.g. 1.39
+  - Check if `mediawikiRepoRef` is set to a specific value for a reason that still makes sense
+    - If not remove it
+- Review `patchUrls`
+  - Open each patch and determine if it has now been merged into the updated version you are targeting
+    - If so: remove it
+    - If not determine if we should:
+      - Apply it as is
+      - Edit it so that is correctly applies to the newly updated code
+      - Remove it since it's no longer needed
+- Run `./sync/wikiman/wikiman .`
+- Run `./sync.sh`
