As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle[1], I would like to announce the
formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.44 as of July 31, 2026.
1.44.6 is the last release for this branch.
This means that MediaWiki 1.44 will no longer receive maintenance or
security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue
to use it.
Please upgrade to MediaWiki 1.45, which will be supported until the end of
December 2026. Or to MediaWiki 1.46, which will be supported until the end
of July 2027.
Thanks!
