 The WordPress Security Team will cease providing updates for WordPress
 versions 3.7 – 4.0 as of December 1, 2022.

 To aid with this the update notification needs to be updated in these
 versions to warn site administrators their site is no longer receiving
 security updates. The proposed string is:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 sprintf(
   /* translators: 1: WordPress version number, 2: Link to update WordPress
 */
   __( 'Important! Your version of WordPress (%1$s) is no longer supported,
 you will not receive any security updates for your website. To keep your
 site secure, please <a href="%2$s">update to the latest version of
 WordPress</a>.' ),
   get_bloginfo( 'version', 'display' ),
   network_admin_url( 'update-core.php' )
 );
 }}}

 For users without the `update-core` capability, I suggest the second link
 go to the wordpress.org downloads page.

 An additional string will be required to allow for dropping additional
 versions of WordPress in the future.

 > Important! Your version of WordPress (X.X.X) will stop receiving
 security updates in the near future. To keep your site secure, please
 update to the latest version of WordPress.

Comment:

 Having discussed this with another contributor, I'll close this ticket as
 fixed and work for displaying the messages on older versions of WordPress
 can be completed in a follow up, see #56786.

 This is to allow for the display of the strings to be done on a different
 milestone.
