The '''MediaWiki.org wiki''' now provides all {{tag|documentation}}, technical support, {{tag|Software development|development}}, and surrounding {{tag|information}} for the MediaWiki software. Historically, before the MediaWiki.org [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] site was created, most of the development and [[user]] support information was to be found at [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]]; an older site, which deals with [[:Category:Meta|meta]] subjects relating to <u>all</u> {{WMF.org|Our projects|WMF projects}} and wikis. The slightly newer MediaWiki.org wiki became the sole place for development, support and {{tag|documentation}} of the MediaWiki software, and much of the earlier software-specific content originally created on the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki has now been moved across to the MediaWiki.org wiki. | The '''MediaWiki.org wiki''' now provides all {{tag|documentation}}, technical support, {{tag|Software development|development}}, and surrounding {{tag|information}} for the MediaWiki software.
