MediaWiki.org is the official wiki site for the 'MediaWiki' wiki engine software (and nothing else related to MediaWiki or WMF).

MediaWiki.org provides some documentation, and surrounding information, but in fact this wiki is relatively new, and most of the development and user support information can be found at Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (a much older site). This is a slightly confusing situation, which hopefully will be tidied up a bit at some point. Both sites are run by the 'not-for-profit' Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) who oversee MediaWiki development, and who also own and run the Wikipedia empire and all its sister projects.

Textual content of the MediaWiki.org wiki is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License (CC-BY-SA 3.0); whereas the actual MediaWiki software is released for free under version 2 of the GNU General Public License (GPL v2).
