Hello,

I have some array declarations in my LocalSettings.php from many years ago that I am worried may not be compatible with PHP 8+. When I try to run /maintenance/update.php in PHP 8.1 I get errors. It runs fine in PHP 7.4.3, fortunately. However, is it okay to set arrays like this in PHP 8+?:

$wgSitemapNamespaces = array( 0, 100, 102 );

Thank you :)

# Site Map see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSitemapNamespaces
#$wgSitemapNamespaces = array( 0, 2, 4, 12 ); # example, to site map Main-0, User-2, Project-4, Help-12 namespace
$wgSitemapNamespaces = array( 0, 100, 102 ); # let's site map ONLY Main, Essay, Lesson namespace

## Extra namespaces
$wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "Lesson";
$wgExtraNamespaces[101] = "Lesson_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[102] = "Essay";
$wgExtraNamespaces[103] = "Essay_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[104] = "Debate";
$wgExtraNamespaces[105] = "Debate_talk";

## Enable subpages in all namespaces
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array_fill(0, 200, true);
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = false; # per Duncan request Jan 11, 2022

## Set default searching. Roger 2012.11.03, updated array syntax 2023.02.13
