+'''MW Zip''' was a specialised {{tag|Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free MediaWiki host}}.  The service was created for fast, reliable, and secure {{tag|MediaWiki wiki farm|MediaWiki hosting}}.  Its features were demonstrated on its [[MW Zip Demo Wiki]].[https://web.archive.org/web/20160930194459/http://Demo.MWZip.com/]
-{{tag|SecondAdditional}}
-{{WikiEngineFeatures}}<!--if the wiki farm is also a wiki engine, as in Wikia-->
-It would also be helpful to add the year of founding of the wiki farm, like so...
+At MW Zip, the [[staff]] only hosted MediaWiki and nothing else.  As such, the servers were tweaked for maximum wiki performance and stability.
-[[Category:FoundedIn20xx]]<!--http://WikiFarmURL.com/index.php?title=Special:AncientPages-->
+Standard wikis had everything fully managed with our automated updates.  Every wiki was fully separate and isolated, with no shared [[user]]s and individual [[:Category:Database|databases]].  This means they could be customised on a per-wiki basis without affecting any other hosted wiki.
+Pro wikis were designed for expert users, and had the ability to connect via FTP and SSH2 (command line) for in-depth wiki customizing, such theme and LocalSettings.php editing, installing new [[:Category:MediaWiki extension|extensions]], database management, and running maintenance scripts.
+MW Zip was founded in January {{tag|Founded in 2014|2014}} as a paid managed MediaWiki host.  Due to limited interest, in May 2014 the service was changed to free MediaWiki hosting.  In [[Archive.org:20160709084542/http://MWZip.com/|July 2016]], it was announced that MW Zip {{tag|Former MediaWiki wiki farm|shut down}}, and as of December 2016, the MW Zip [[wiki farm]] is dead, its former URL redirects to unrelated spam.
-'''Mwzip''' is a lesser-known {{tag|WikiFarm|wiki farm}}.
