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.
