These are [[:Category: | These are [[:Category:WikiFarm|wiki farms]] that are powered by the now ubiquitous [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] (MW) software, and importantly, offer permanently free [[wiki]] hosting to [[user]]s. It should be noted that the services listed below might not offer hosting on solely a free basis; they might also choose to offer additional 'enhanced' wiki hosting options on a paid-for or commercial basis. Please see the parent category at [[:category:MediaWiki wiki farms]] for other services who offer MW hosting on a non-free paid-for option. | ||
The table below contains direct links to | The table below contains direct links to known {{tag|free MediaWiki wiki farms}}. They also include the ''Special:Version'' link to see which version of the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software is being used, along with any additional [[mw:Category:All extensions|extensions]]. The ''Special:Export'' can be used by anybody to download the wikitext database for multiple pages. Paste in a list of the page names, or put in just a category name, and have it export the wikitext for all the pages in that category. [[Sysop|Admins]] on a [[wiki]] are able to use ''Special:Import'' to create multiple pages on a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] from those exports. Database dumps for a whole wiki are usually linked at the bottom of ''Special:Statistics'', although you may have to be [[:Category:LoginToEdit|logged-in]] to see it. Most free [[wiki farm]]s use some form of on-wiki [[:Category:Advertising|advertising]] for long-term funding. See also the opt-in advertising sections of [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Funding Wikipedia through advertisements|Wikipedia:Funding Wikipedia through advertisements]]. | ||
