What is the meaning of the <?php } ?> syntax in PHP?

Some PHP code, for example MediaWiki skins, contain the following line:

<?php } ?>

What is the purpose of that lone closing bracket?

All by itself without any other PHP code on the page, it is useless and will almost certainly cause an error.

In most cases however, you have a function or control structure somewhere on the page and this is just a closing brace.

E.g.

<?php 
      if (someCondition) {
?>
     <h1>Some title only shown if PHP condition is met.</h1>
<?php } ?>
