'''MediaWiki''' software is the {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}} software package that runs this [[WikiIndex]] wiki site.

The initial 'pre-version' (known as 'Phase II software' in Wikipedia circles) was created by [[Magnus Manske]], and used on all available Wikipedia versions from 25 January 2002. A 'Phase III software' became the first official MediaWiki, and was a substantial re-write by [[Lee Daniel Crocker]]; this was first used on the English Wikipedia on 20 July 2002. MediaWiki is compiled and written in {{tag|PHP}}, and 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 MediaWikis' design avoids many of the clutter / feature–creep problems that can appear in other mature wiki engines, and its success speaks for itself. MediaWiki has spawned many clones, the most notable being [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]. MediaWiki is a highly developed, feature-rich software that is released for {{tag|free software|free}} under version 2 of the {{tag|GNU General Public License}} (GNU GPL v2), and requires either [[:Category:MySQL|MySQL 5.0.2+]], [[:Category:PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]], or [[:Category:SQLite|SQLite]] for data storage. | The initial 'pre-version' (known as 'Phase II software' in Wikipedia circles) was created by [[Magnus Manske]], and used on all available Wikipedia versions from 25 January 2002.
