This reverts commit 9a497dd3c9, which added an additional blank line to
the README in an attempt to work around a bug in GitHub's wikitext
renderer which causes it to swallow any whitespace that follows a bulleted
list. It didn't fix the issue (it's now simply swallowing two lines rather
than one).

MediaWiki is a popular and free, open-source wiki software package written in
|
|
PHP. It serves as the platform for Wikipedia and its sister projects, which
|
|
deliver content in over 280 languages to more than half a billion people each
|
|
month. MediaWiki's 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 over 2,000 extensions;
|
|
* scalable and suitable for both small and large sites;
|
|
* available in your language; and
|
|
* simple to install, working on most hardware/software combinations.
|
|
|
|
