I've never tested with Linux Mint before, but my
understanding is that
it should be close enough to Ubuntu that you can use my PPA
<https://launchpad.net/~legoktm/+archive/ubuntu/mediawiki-lts> to get
updated packages.
If it doesn't work out, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help
get working packages for Mint.
After adding your PPA and doing "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade",
MediaWiki v1.31.7 is now installed, although, things are different and I
cannot find the wiki page I was working on. I'll keep playing with it in
my spare time, but the update/upgrade/install does seem to have worked.
