Also, let's keep the PHP version in the documentation correct for
the branch release, not what the actual code says for master. This
is much less confusing and needs fewer fixes when making back-port
changes.

For now, this complains about 7.4.0 – 7.4.8, and 7.3.0 - 7.3.18.
We will back-port this to the REL1_35 live release branch with
modifications as that requires 7.3.19+ already.

Debian oldstable (Stretch) has PostgreSQL 9.6
Keeps things inline with doctrine/dbal 3.0.0, which only supports
PostgreSQL >= 9.4.

Follows 15e0e9bb4, as Parsoid code which can trigger this is reliably
is now included in MediaWiki.

In most cases it's packaged as part of the php xml extension
but there's likely some OS that maybe package it separately....
Shouldn't cause any harm being here

3.3.7 is 12 years old, no chance in hell you will find it somewhere
that supports modern MediaWiki. Since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS has 3.8.2, this
seems like a reasonable conservative version.

This note is very old; it was added in r2832 (635388356be70130) and
r3285 (7ab7a50cf9). Modern versions of MediaWiki support CGI and
FastCGI installations nearly as well as mod_php installations. In fact,
Wikimedia currently uses HHVM's "fastcgi" server type, and intends to
use php-fpm with PHP 7 (see migration plan in T176370).
For a basic MediaWiki installation using the web installer, the only
difference I know of is the default URLs: /w/index.php?title=$1 for CGI,
as opposed to /w/index.php/$1 for mod_php. This issue is easy to fix by
changing $wgArticlePath, if the web server sets REQUEST_URI. Admins who
want to use short URLs (e.g. /wiki/$1) have to do this anyway.
Also, in img_auth.php and the "img-auth-nopathinfo" message, don't imply
that CGI and FastCGI server configurations generally can't provide path
information or support MediaWiki features that need it.

The feature no longer exists starting in PHP 5.4.0, and MediaWiki
now only supports PHP 5.5.9 or newer.
