Even the LTS of MediaWiki (supported till 2015!) doesn't claim to
support extensions that were created after 1.19 came out (in Spring 2012).

The Guided Tour extension is attractive, but the first attempts at
creating it were in September 2012 -- at a hacking event with the WMF. 
MW 1.20 was released in November. The extension itself was only recently
released and is was targeted to Wikimedia sites -- where they roll out a
new release every two weeks and are trying to speed it up.

This will work if you can update your site every couple of weeks.  I
don't know what your resources are, but I predict you'll be
disappointed.  As was made clear to me when I discussed this topic on
wikitech-l, if you want the a stable release of MediaWiki, then you
can't expect to use the latest features.

Using the latest features is possible, but it requires an investment of
some time.

I wish you the best and hope that if you do work off of the latest MW
and SMW, you'll contribute any of your fixes back.
