The main '[[:Category:Meta|meta]]' wiki site article page here on WikiIndex for MoinMoin is: [[MoinMoin wiki]].  It has a large community of [[user]]s.  However, [[Archive.org:20090926053710/http://pentropy.Twisty-Industries.com/new-nginx-wiki-live|criticism of MoinMoin by Cliff Wells]] includes its high memory consumption ("hundreds of megabytes", compared to less than 100&nbsp;Mb by [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]) and cumbersome navigation.  Similar criticism states that MoinMoin "[[Archive.org:20101021050211/http://rwhe.Posterous.com/ludismorg-wikis-are-back-up|is an overly complex package and was very difficult to maintain, upgrade, and – as it happened – restore from backup]]".  It will also be noticed that when using the in-built themes or [[:Category:Skins|skins]], MoinMoin is not as graphically 'pleasing' as some other wiki engines, though this can be addressed by way of the many available [[:Category:Custom skin|custom skins]].  Notable limitations of MoinMoin is that does not support namespaces, nor any type of structured data.
