[http://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki.org] is the homepage of the [[MediaWiki]] software, the {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}} software that runs this [[WikiIndex]] site. Originally designed for [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], now one of the most active and [[WikisWithTheMostPages|largest wikis]], it is now also used extensively by other [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] projects, along with many, many other independent [[wiki]]s. | |||
'''MediaWiki''', written in {{tag|PHP}}, is probably the most widely deployed wiki engine {{tag|software}}. Some would argue that a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] should be more simplistic, with fewer features; but the design avoids many of the clutter/feature-creep problems appearing in other mature wiki engines, and its success speaks for itself. MediaWiki has spawned many clones, the most notable being [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]. | |||
Here are the [http://www.mwusers.com/forums/ MediaWiki user forums]. And this fellow found [http://www.cs.brown.edu/~pavlo/mediawiki/ all installs] of the code. | |||
The wikis in this [[Special:Categories|category]] listed below are powered by the MediaWiki wiki engine. | |||

;MediaWiki [[:Category:Wiki Size|size]] information: add <tt>/Special:Statistics</tt> at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code> (non-English [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] versions will automatically convert this to actual language). Dependent on software version, there is a number called "Content pages" or sometimes "pages that are probably legitimate content pages" -- use <u>that</u> lower number. Ignore the (often much larger) "all pages in the wiki, including redirects" number. We can also [http://s23.org/wikistats/addwiki/ add] MediaWiki listings to the http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php system which tracks various wiki stats. | |||
;MediaWiki [[wikiFactor]] information: go to the <tt>/Special:PopularPages</tt> page of the wiki – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/Special:PopularPages</nowiki></code> | |||
