	it should work as normal after that		it should work as normal after that

		+	== Mediawiki ==
		+
		+	because i failed to update wiki earlier, when my host upgraded php to 5.3, there was an error because mediawiki's older versions uses the class Namespace which is a reserved word
		+
		+	<pre>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NAMESPACE, expecting T_STRING in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/wiki/includes/Namespace.php on line 46</pre>
		+
		+	the solution is to open Namespace.php and change line 46 from
		+
		+	<pre>class Namespace {</pre>
		+
		+	to
		+
		+	<pre>class MWNamespace {</pre>
		+
		+	at this point the error message will change to this weird thing
		+
		+	<pre>PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, expecting T_NS_SEPARATOR</pre>
		+
		+	next you have to open up these files inside includes
		+
		+	* Namespace.php
		+	* Title.php
		+	* ImageGallery.php
		+	* SkinTemplate.php
		+	* Parser.php
		+	* RecentChange.php
		+
		+	you replace all instances of Namespace to MWNamespace
		+
		+	it should work as normal after that
