MediaWiki
MediaWiki - a Guide for Hosted Sites
About MediaWiki
MediaWiki is a free and open-source software package originally developed as a platform for Wikipedia but now widely used by companies, government departments and individuals for a diverse range of knowledgebases, intranets and websites.
MediaWiki is also suitable for personal websites, such as this, and is a cost-effective platform for small to medium business websites, intranets and CMS.
Guide for Using MediaWiki in a Hosted Environment
To support the development of hosted sites which are MediaWiki-based I have developed a Guide which links to relevant documentation at MediaWiki.org and by the Wikimedia Foundation but is supplemented by information or advice specific to building a website with MediaWiki in a hosting environment.
This site, and other websites I have developed, use MediaWiki. All have been hosted, so I know the benefits and limitations of hosting. This is different from my previous experience as a System Administrator and Trainer where I had full access to the server and web server.
