Warning:

MediaWiki 1.35 no longer supports PHP 7.2. PHP 7.3.19 or later is required.

Warning:

MediaWiki is not yet compatible with PHP 8. See task T248925 for more information.

Red Hat 8 and CentOS 7 users should ensure Software Collections (SCL) is enabled. Red Hat updated PHP-7.3 to version 7.3.20 to support MediaWiki 1.35. See Issue 0017826, CentOS 7 with SCL enabled only provides PHP 7.3.11.

New features

Special pages Special:EditPage, Special:PageHistory, Special:PageInfo, and Special:Purge have been created as shortcuts for each action. Special:EditPage/Foo redirects to title=foo&action=edit, with PageHistory, PageInfo, and Purge corresponding to &action= history, info, and purge respectively. When linked to, its subpage is used as the target. Otherwise, it displays a basic interface to allow the end user to specify the target manually (see task T13456).
The form at "?action=watch" has a new dropdown list to support expiry dates for watchlist items (if $wgWatchlistExpiry is true).

New bundled extensions

MediaWiki 1.35 bundled the VisualEditor extension, which provides a visual editing experience as an alternative to the traditional source editor. It will not be necessary to setup a separate instance of Parsoid, as it is built into MediaWiki core.

In addition SecureLinkFixer and TemplateData are bundled. They force https on your wiki, and add a tag and an api to allow editors to specify how templates should be invoked.
