Yep, the database layout of MediaWiki changes with the minor version
1.4.x -> 1.5.x (etc.).

I believe the MediaWiki developers generally provide update scripts [small
downtime] and/or a way to export the data, delete the db, recreate the db,
and import the data [large downtime].
AFAICT, this is a MediaWiki issue and not a Gentoo issue. You might get
better responses using their support system instead.
