Template:Free MediaWiki wiki farms: Difference between revisions

The table below contains direct links to known [[:Category:Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free MediaWiki wiki farms]].  They also include the <tt>Special:Version</tt> link to see which version of the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software is being used, along with any additional {{Mw|Category:All extensions|extensions}}.  The <tt>Special:Export</tt> can be used by anybody to download the [[wikitext]] database 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.  [[Sysop|Administrators]] on a wiki site are able to use <tt>Special:Import</tt> to create multiple pages on a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki site]] from those exports.  Database dumps for a whole wiki are occasionally linked at the bottom of <tt>Special:Statistics</tt> (standard on Wikia), although you may have to be [[:Category:LoginToEdit|logged-in]] to see it.  Most free [[wiki farm]]s use some form of on-wiki [[:Category:Advertising|advertising]] for long-term funding.  See also the opt-in advertising sections of {{Wp|Wikipedia: Funding Wikipedia through advertisements}}.

For all [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] sites, a list of all [[WhatIsWiki|wiki sites]] ''should'' also be available via the [[MediaWiki API]] ({{Mw|API:Main page}}) database access facility at <span style=white-space:nowrap><code>/w/api.php?action=query&list=listwikis</code></span> (or <span style=white-space:nowrap><code>/wiki/api.php?action=query&list=listwikis</code></span>), and / or the WikiDiscover module at <span style=white-space:nowrap><code>/w/api.php?action=wikidiscover</code></span>; though some sites do not enable the required API modules, or allow anonymous API read access.

*'''[[:Category:ShoutWiki|ShoutWiki]]:''' — {{Mw|social tools}} are one of ShoutWiki's fields of expertise, though before one is allowed to create a wiki site on ShoutWiki, you need to be logged in and be [[:Category:ConfirmEmail|e-mail confirmed]].  A charge of US$5.50 is required to remove [[:Category:Advertising|adverts]], which the site relies on for one stream of funding.  Some highly technical features are available to [[staff]] only.  [[ShoutWiki:ShoutWiki Staff|ShoutWiki staff]] consists of highly experienced [[:Category:MediaWiki developer|MediaWiki developers]] and [[editor]]s.  ShoutWiki offers 15 [[:Category:MediaWiki skin|skins]], including some [[:Category:ShoutWiki skin|ShoutWiki-developed skins]].

*'''[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]:''' — now known as Fandom, this highly [[:Category:Commercial|commercial]] behemoth of a host is prolifically [[:Category:Advertising|advert]]-spammed, with no paid removal option available, and the [[:Category:Wikia staff|staff]] are not very open to [[founder]] configuration control.  Relying on a unique and heavily [[:Category:Custom skin|customised]] (and for a long time, long-outdated version of MediaWiki), there are many features that are available to staff-only, including traditional administrative features such as mass deletion and revision deletion.  Additionally, some extension or configuration setting is used to prevent Fandom staff accounts from being blocked by any local admins.
