These are MediaWiki-based wiki farms that offer permanently-free wiki hosting; see parent category for more.

Here are direct links to the wiki farms along with Special:Version links to see what versions of the MediaWiki software and extensions are currently being used. Special:Export can be used by anybody to download the wikitext 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. Admins on a wiki can use Special:Import to create multiple pages on a wiki from those exports. Database dumps for a whole wiki are usually linked at the bottom of Special:Statistics. You may have to be logged in to see it. Most free wiki farms use ads for long-term funding. See also the opt-in ad sections of wikipedia:WP:Funding Wikipedia through advertisements.

  • ShoutWiki: Social tools are one of ShoutWiki's fields of expertise. A charge of $5.50 is required to remove page-cluttering ads, which the site unfortunately relies on for funding. Some highly technical features are available to staff only. ShoutWiki staff consists of experienced MediaWiki developers and editors.
  • Wikia: This host is also ad-spammed with no paid removal option available, and the staff is not very open to founder configuration control. There are many features that are available to staff-only.
  • Miraheze: Users should be aware that the Stewards of Miraheze "attempt" to offer freedom with extensions and features. However, it has been determined that there are several technical restrictions that the staff refuses to fully investigate/attempt to eliminate. Therefore, several enabled features are not available to wiki founders.
  • EditThis.info: This MediaWiki host is 100% free. However, it appears to have been abandoned by their system administrators (the feature requests page has little to know responses and the village pump has been blanked and protected). Also, this host is running an ancient version of MediaWiki and thus is significantly lacking features.
  • Referata: This host is specialized in Semantic wikis. Users should be aware that the site appears to have become a dormant wiki hosting provider, as the feature requests page has been abandoned for some time and the recent changes is usually filed with account creations.
