A Guide for Using MediaWiki in a Hosted Environment

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.

The aim of this Guide is to assist individuals or others choosing to build a MediaWiki-based website in a hosted environment, without direct access to a server.

The main topics of this Guide are arranged by role - and if you are the owner of a hosted MediaWiki website then you will be the System Administrator, Administrator and User, all-in-one!
