MediaWiki releases are made about every 6 months, with every fourth release (i.e. about every 2 years) being an LTS (Long-Term Support) release branch. LTS release branches receive security support and bug fixes for three years after their initial release, while non-LTS release branches are supported for one year after their initial release.

Since Version 1.36, MediaWiki only supports upgrading from two major long-term support releases (LTS) ago. Upgrades from older versions of MediaWiki will have to be performed in multiple steps.

More information is available on the MediaWiki website.

You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
