Template:Free MediaWiki wiki farms: Difference between revisions

These are '''[[:Category:WikiFarm|wiki farms]]''' (current and [[:Category:Former MediaWiki wiki farm|former]]) that are powered by the now ubiquitous '''[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]''' (MW) wiki engine software, and importantly, offer permanently [[:Category:Free wiki farm|'''free''' wiki hosting]] to [[user]]s.  It should be noted that the services listed below might not offer [[wiki]] hosting on solely a [[:Category:Free|free]] basis; they might also choose to offer additional 'enhanced' wiki hosting options on a paid-for, [[:Category:Commercial|commercial]], or [[:Category:Enterprise|enterprise]] basis.  Please see the parent category at [[:category: MediaWiki wiki farm]] for other services who offer MW hosting on a non-free paid-for option.

The table below contains direct links to known [[:Category:Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free MediaWiki wiki farms]].  They also include the <tt>Special:Version</tt> link to see which version of the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software is being used, along with any additional [[mw:Category:All extensions|extensions]].  The <tt>Special:Export</tt> 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|Administrators]] on a wiki are able to use <tt>Special:Import</tt> to create multiple pages on a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] from those exports.  Database dumps for a whole wiki are usually linked at the bottom of <tt>Special:Statistics</tt>, 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 {{Wp|Wikipedia:Funding Wikipedia through advertisements|Wikipedia: Funding Wikipedia through advertisements}}.
