Z Altaron Wiki

MediaWiki is known as a free of charge web-based wiki application. Made by the Wikimedia Foundation and others, it's useful to run all of the Foundation?s projects, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Wikinews. Numerous other wikis worldwide also use it to power their websites. It's written in the PHP programming language and uses a backend database.

The first type of the software was deployed to serve the needs of the free content Wikipedia encyclopedia in 2002. It has been deployed since then by many companies as a content management system for internal knowledge management. Notably, Novell uses it to operate several of its high-traffic websites. Thousands of websites use MediaWiki. Some educators have also assigned students to use MediaWiki for collaborative group projects.

The software is optimized to correctly and efficiently handle projects of all sizes, including the largest wikis, which can have terabytes of content and hundreds of thousands of hits per second. Because Wikipedia is one of the world's largest websites, achieving scalability through multiple layers of caching and database replication has also been a major concern for developers. Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects continue to define a large part of the requirement set for MediaWiki. You can use WIKI Killer to publish your articles on MediaWiki site!

The software is highly personalized, with more than 700 configuration settings and more than 1,800 extensions available for enabling various features to be added or changed. More than 600 automated and semi-automated bots and other tools have been developed to assist in editing MediaWiki sites.
