Mediawiki Upgrade Notes
In file `RELEASE-NOTES-1.x` may be useful to search for:
692 == Upgrading notes for 1.35 == 693 1.35 requires PHP 7.3.19 or above (up from 7.2.9). (T257879)
...this so at least in MW release 1.35. Speaks to which minimum version of PHP is needed.
In file `UPGRADE` which is part of mediawiki tarball, there is mention that for upgrades a wiki curator will want to preserve the following dirs and files from the older installation:
-
(1) "extensions" directory
(2) "images" directory
(3) LocalSettings.php file
A useful Mediawiki page with general notes on difficulty levels, and issues involved with upgrades from certain ranges of older versions is:
. . . search for the phrases "Frequently asked questions" and "How hard is it to upgrade?"
