TASK DESCRIPTION
  MW 1.19 is a LTS published 2012 but the life cycle ended in 2015 already.
  
  Fandom has used it as its wiki base but adopted a lot of functions and 
functionalities; in result al lot of standard  behaviour also fails with fandom 
implementation (logevents for example).
  
  fandom is going to update its platform to MediaWiki 1.33:
  
  - https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:MediaWiki
  - 
https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:MisterWoodhouse/Unified_Community_Platform:_The_Vision,_Purpose,_and_Process
  
  Our MW 1.19 tests fails due to UCP upgrade (see T268971 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268971>)
  
  With @Urbanecm we established a MW 1.14.1 wiki 
(https://dvorapovawiki.urbanec.cz/mw/index.php/Main_Page) and created 
Pywikibot-test account there
  
  Anyway due to the different MW 1.19 implementations pywikibot 2.0+ wasn't 
established to be used at fandom but compat (1.0) release is hte preferred one 
(https://pybot.fandom.com/wiki/Windows_installation)
  
  Therefore I propose to give up 1.19 support with next Pywikibot 6.0 release 
in 2021 and start supporting with the LTS successor 1.23 published in 2014 e en 
its life cycle ended already 2017. See
