Just get rid of the "1."

Why have the idiosyncratic one-point-X naming anyway? "MediaWiki 30.0" sounds much better than "MediaWiki 1.30.0". The mythical "Phase 4" software probably isn't coming out until after Hell freezes over (according to Meta, Phase 4 was supposed to come out in 2004; Duke Nukem Forever was released in 2011 - still no Phase 4; Brian said that MW2.0 was under development in 2013; the Cubs won the World Series in 2016 - still no MW2.0), and if Phase 4/MW2.0 somehow gets developed before the end of the decade, the community will inevitably protest (remember Superprotect?) and fork the last Phase 3/1.x version into a new wiki software package with a different name (a la Firefox/Pale Moon), leaving Phase 4/2.x to rot; therefore, leaving the digit "one" and the decimal point in front of the number is effectively pointless.
