This means that MediaWiki 1.32 will no longer receive maintenance or security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue to use it.
It is recommended to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.34 (due to become EOL in November 2020), or less preferably to MediaWiki 1.33 (due to become EOL in June 2020). The current Long Term Support (LTS) version of MediaWiki, MediaWiki 1.31, is older (and downgrading is not supported), though the next LTS (MediaWiki 1.35) is due to be released in June 2020, and will be supported until June 2023.
MediaWiki 1.33 has the same supported PHP version of 7.0 (which is itself unsupported upstream), in case you need longer to upgrade your systems. MediaWiki 1.34 requires PHP 7.2.9 or later.
This puts some folks in a bad position.
The latest CentOS 7 does not support the versions of Python and PHP required, even with Software Collections (SCL) enabled.
(In hindsight a Red Hat-based VM was a bad decision. It ships with antique software, and SCL only provides old software. We need modern software, and should have selected a Fedora or Ubuntu VM).
