Hi, referring to symlinks for multiple websites using a single set of software.... when we upgrade our Mediawiki software to the latest version, do we need to redo all the symlinks again or will it point to the same file and folder names, if the file and folder names remain the same?

No need to redo the symlinks, as they are *symbolic*, they point to the names, not to the actual contents. You would need to recreate them if instead of symlinks they were hard links. Note however that you may need to add new files (eg. when load.php was added). Read your RELEASE-NOTES.
