PmWiki is a highly advanced, fully featured, and continuously developed wiki engine, written in PHP. It was created in 2001[1] by Dr Patrick R. Michaud (Pm) from France, and is released as free software under version 2 of the GNU General Public License (GPLv2). All wiki site data is stored in flat files, and the core wiki engine can be customised by adding extensions, which PmWiki call 'recipes' that are available from their 'Cookbook'. PmWiki is visually vaguely similar to MediaWiki; having a sidebar for wiki navigation, and individual page commands (view, edit, history, print) at the top right (but without 'tabs'). PmWiki supports most of the established wiki syntax, including CamelCase (now disabled by default), free links, backlinks, interwiki, and sister wiki. Page rendering appears to be clean and fast, and is also mobile friendly. One great feature of PmWiki is that no existing data is lost or corrupted during separate simultaneous attempts at editing the same page; PmWiki will automatically merge these attempted simultaneous edits, thus preventing the dreaded 'edit conflict' which occurs on more complex engines such as MediaWiki.

PmWiki is a registered trademark of Patrick R. Michaud. Since January 2009, lead development of PmWiki has been taken over by Paris-based Petko Yotov.

The meta wiki homepage for PmWiki.org here on WikiIndex is PmWiki, and its Chinese localised version is PmWikiZhCn. PmWiki is available in thirty-eight (38) different interface languages. There is a page for all PmWiki users (wiki sites), along with a PmWiki users map (originally using Google Maps, now using OpenStreetMap), and the success stories page highlights vibrant PmWiki installs with extended descriptions along with (sometimes) a screenshot. The failure stories highlights some of the few hurdles of PmWiki that some users had difficulties with.
