MediaWiki is an open source wiki software package developed by the Wikimedia Foundation. It is written in PHP and stores its data in a MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL or SQLite database. It is designed to allow users to easily create, edit, and share collaborative content and webpages. MediaWiki is used by a variety of organizations, including the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and Wikibooks. It is also used by a variety of other organizations, including corporations, governments, and universities. It is easy to install and customize, and it provides powerful features such as user access control, page versioning, and wikitext markup. MediaWiki is used to create and manage collaborative websites, and it is an essential part of any enterprise application.
It does not serve as a Wiki-style website, but rather as a good alternative to Evernote or other desktop note-taking application.
It's not really a wiki, it's a desktop note-taking application.
It's much simpler without the redundant features of MediaWiki which are not useful anyway. Elegant, minimalistic and intuitive. I'm surprised this tool isn't getting much publicity yet.
An excellent alternative if you are looking for something light and easy to use.
Much easier to set up and maintain. No steep learning curve as with MediaWiki.
Lighter on features but much faster and easier to use. Much more collaborative as well.
A much easier wiki tool for non-technical users. Also great to have real-time collaboration features.
Tomboy is a desktop software for taking notes for individuals, not for collecting information from multiple users.
Desde mi experiencia, XWiki es mucho más adaptable a los casos de uso empresarial que MediaWiki: cambiar el tema o configurar un servidor de correo fue muy fácil, por ejemplo. XWiki también incluye un administrador de extensiones con muchas extensiones disponibles. El principal inconveniente de XWiki es que es más difícil de instalar que las aplicaciones PHP simples; También lleva más memoria del sistema por defecto.
