https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_version_history says that 1.33
is the last version to support PHP 7.1. MediaWiki version 1.33 will
probably be supported until approx. June 2020.

Note that MediaWiki version 1.31 is a Long Term Support (LTS) version
supported until approx. June 2021.

Hi,

We have mediawiki running on CentOS 7 with SCL, but using wiki version 1.31 for
the very reason it offered long term support. We are starting to look at
RHEL/CentOS 8, and I suspect that before mid-2021 we will move the wiki onto a
CentOS 8 server. CentOS 8.0 currently offers PHP 7.2, but I gather that CentOS
8.1 will offer PHP 7.3 as well. With the use of modules in RHEL/CentOS 8, we
should be able to keep up to date better with software requirements (PHP in
this case) as required by mediawiki.

Anyway, that's the plan... :-)


John.
