MWiki, abbreviated as MW and formal name Wiki of the Marianas Net, is a former private wiki that contained 772 individual mainspace pages on the Marianas Web. Similar to the The Hidden Wiki, this wiki could only be accessed through a browser designated for the network it subjects on until the Marianas' Web was shut down in 8 August 2019.
