Description Tom Hendrikx 2012-09-07 19:20:06 UTC 
The postupgrade-en.txt contains:
====
Note: Make sure $wgDBadminusr and $wgDBadminpassword is set in your
====
The variables are however interpreted by portage, and in the end they are displayed as empty strings:
====
Note: Make sure  and  is set in your
====

Please escape them with a backslash so they are printed, as they are part of the documentation, and should not be interpreted.

Report is after seeing this in the upgrade to 1.19.2, but I got annoyed by this in many earlier upgrades (although not annoyed enough to report).
