In this edit to the Wikipedia:PHP bot framework table page, it was pointed out that while we purportedly support PHP v5.3+, there are no guarantees of the upper bound of that range specification. We should encode this explicitly. That was already done in that table, but the information should be included in this repository.
If that is something that, say, composer.json, or some other metadata file, supports, then we should add the info there; otherwise, we should expand the information in the README from "It requires PHP v5.3 or newer" to something indicating the upper bound we have tested Wikimate to work with.
That said, I suspect PHP version upgrades might retain backward compatibility with older code, which would make such an explicit upper bound redundant (though maybe still worth indicating). Do you know if that's the case, @Xymph? Edit: Nevermind, I didn't think about language deprecations.
