- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35
- Long Term Support LTS Version
- End of Life: September 2023.
⌘⌘ Why should i migrate?[edit]
- 1.31 LTS went end-of-life in June 2021.
- 1.27 LTS went end-of-life in June 2019.
- its an opportunity to clean and fix things
- Avoid the "Just upgrade!" shame
⌘⌘ Is the migration reversible?[edit]
- No its all or nothing!
- really?
- Really there is no proper incremental way
- You'll not like to try so better assume "No!"
