'''MoinMoin''', created in {{tag|Germany}}, is an extensible {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}} written in {{tag|Python}}, cloned or {{tag|fork}}ed from {{tag|PikiPiki}}.  It uses only a file-based data store (and does ''not'' support any of the [[:Category:SQL|SQL]] or [[:Category:Oracle|Oracle]] protocols).  MoinMoin supported [[:Category:Wiki syntax|syntax]] includes [[CamelCase]], [[free link]]s and [[backlink]]s, and also utilises [[interwiki]] and {{tag|ACL}} (access control lists).  MoinMoin is {{tag|open source}} software, and is released for {{tag|Free software|free}} under the {{tag|GNU General Public License|GNU General Public License, version 2}} (GPLv2).<ref>[https://MoinMo.in/GPL MoinMoin: GPL]; ''MoinMo.in''; [[MoinMoin wiki]]; last edited 2011-05-12; retrieved 2021-07-24.</ref>

The main '[[:Category:Meta|meta]]' wiki homepage 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]].
