# MediaWiki
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki is a free and open-source wiki software package written in PHP. It
|
|
serves as the platform for Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, used
|
|
by hundreds of millions of people each month. MediaWiki is localised in over
|
|
350 languages and its reliability and robust feature set have earned it a large
|
|
and vibrant community of third-party users and developers.
|
|
|
|
MediaWiki is:
|
|
|
|
* feature-rich and extensible, both on-wiki and with hundreds of extensions;
|
|
* scalable and suitable for both small and large sites;
|
|
* simple to install, working on most hardware/software combinations; and
|
|
* available in your language.
|
|
|
|
For system requirements, installation, and upgrade details, see the files
|
|
RELEASE-NOTES, INSTALL, and UPGRADE.
