That actually wouldn’t be a bad idea to create some kind of app on the wmflabs that parses/updates LocalSettings.php configs and outputs the modern standards.

And in 14 years, Mediawiki has never warned users about it.

The first time we learn about these things in practice is when
something breaks. Usually after an upgrade.

The devs really need to supply a linter that we can run on
LocalSettings.php so we can discover the problems earlier than "it
broke after an upgrade." And hopefully the linter will suggest the
next step, like renaming NS_IMAGE to NS_FILE.
