Many thanks all for your comments and insights - I appreciate this is a question where the answer is not a simple one.
As to DPA/UK GDPR, fair points and not something I had considered.
I agree that upgrading to current versions of PHP/MediaWiki should be the immediate focus (board.wikimedia.org.uk *also* runs 1.31.0)
To your comments Mike irt "fresh thinking", perhaps WMUK would consider a hybrid approach? Maintaining your own private wiki(s) but having the public one hosted by WMF, which would give you the benefits of being SUL joined etc.
Kind regards,
*Sam*

(would be really nice if WMUK did a WMDE and hosted the technical development of a Wikimedia project!).
Isn't that QRpedia?
Has anything (technical or otherwise) been done with that, lately? Is anything planned?
I was thinking more on the lines of something like Wikisource. ;-) But this is a good question!
