That all just means there's a syntax error in WikiUser.php
somewhere.  (Presumably the part just changed.)
Send me (privately --- not on list) a copy of your WikiUser.php,
and I'll see if I can spot the problem.

The method which those lines are in is responsible for reporting
the minimum level of authentication (or authority) neede to perform
a given action.  The section of code you've quoted above says:
if REQUIRE_SIGNIN_BEFORE_EDIT has been set, then users must have
authenticated themselves at least to the bogo-login level (any
authentication level higher than that --- either _USER or _ADMIN ---
is okay too.); and if REQUIRE_SIGNIN_... has not been set, then
anyone can perform action 'edit'.  (WIKIAUTH_ANON is the lowest
authentication level.)


Your current problem is (only) the syntax error in WikiUser.php
around line 165.
