# MediaWiki

MediaWiki is free, open server software for building wikis, written in PHP and typically run on MySQL or MariaDB. Users edit pages in wikitext without needing HTML or CSS knowledge, and the software handles images, multimedia files and caching. Extensions, an API and a structured user-rights system extend its core, and it powers Wikipedia and thousands of other wikis.
