'''ikiwiki''' is a wiki compiler. It converts wiki pages into html pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike a traditional wiki, '''ikiwiki''' does not have its own means of storing page history.

'''ikiwiki''' is a [[wiki]] compiler, a {{tag|wiki engine}}, particularly suited to [[:Category:Personal|personal]] wikis, project wikis, or [[:Category:Blog|blogs]].  ikiwiki is {{tag|Free software|free}}[https://ikiwiki.info/freesoftware/], released as {{tag|open source}} ({{tag|FOSS}}) under the {{tag|GNU General Public License|GNU General Public License version 2 (or later)}} (GPL v2+). ikiwiki converts wiki pages into html pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike most other wiki engines, ikiwiki stores pages and history as plain text files in a standard {{tag|revision control}} system[https://ikiwiki.info/rcs/] such as {{tag|Subversion}} or {{tag|Git}},[https://ikiwiki.info/rcs/git/] rather than some specialised internal page history format.
 
The {{tag|great feature|unique feature}} with ikiwiki is that it can be [[edit]]ed via commit to a repository, in addition to the standard web editing (though web editing can also be disabled); which makes ikiwiki truly collaborative.  It is even possible to run an ikiwiki site in [[:Category:Private|private]], by copying the wiki content onto another server; and you even do not need the ikiwiki software on that server!
 
The ikiwiki wiki engine is written in {{tag|Perl}} by [https://ikiwiki.info/users/joey/ Joey Hess] (and others), and there is a plugin available that supports {{tag|LaTeX}} {{tag|Mathematics|math}}, along with other plugins to support other common [[:Category:Wiki syntax|wiki syntaxes]].  ikiwiki supports using Git, Subversion, {{tag|Mercurial}}, {{tag|Monotone}}, {{tag|darcs}}, or {{tag|CVS}} version control systems.  ikiwiki can also be used to build {{tag|weblog}}s.
 
ikiwiki will run on ANY [[:Category:Operating system|operating system]].  Whilst it supports nigh-on all of the established [[:Category:Wiki syntax|syntax]] and protocols (some such as [[CamelCase]] requiring additional plugins), it does <u>not</u> support [[:Category:Wiki Multilingual|localisation]], its interface being available in only {{tag|Wiki English|English}}.
 
Their 'meta' website (also named [[ikiwiki]]) is a wiki, running the ikiwiki wiki engine, demonstrating and discussing the ikiwiki wiki engine.
