» MediaWiki DocumentationMediaWiki Details

MediaWiki is the software used for Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) and the other Wikimedia Foundation websites. Compared to other wikis, it has an excellent range of features and support for high-traffic websites using multiple servers (Wikipedia peaks in the 2500+ requests per second range as of June 2005).

MediaWiki is usable on both large and small sites, though some aspects of configuration may seem overcomplicated because MediaWiki is primarily targeted as an in-house tool for Wikipedia. Free hosting for MediaWiki is provided by Wikia - see www.wikia.com.
