Collaboration 07.4 — Wiki

Wiki.js and MediaWiki — an open knowledge base

When knowledge belongs to the organisation rather than one team, a wiki is the right format. I deploy Wiki.js or MediaWiki, depending on purpose.

What it covers

Wiki.js — modern, Markdown-based and light. MediaWiki — power and compatibility for teams that need the Wikipedia model.

Wiki.js

A modern interface, Markdown, multilingual support and simple management — for small and mid-sized teams.

MediaWiki

Power, categories, templates and the Wikipedia model — for large, long-lived projects.

Access model

Public, internal or mixed — some pages for everyone, some only for the team.

Markdown and code

Technical documentation with code blocks, diagrams and tables — under version control.

Authentication

LDAP, OAuth2 or SAML — one account for every service, without separate passwords.

History

Every edit is kept — who changed what and when, fully recorded.

Common questions

Wiki.js or MediaWiki?

Wiki.js — cleanliness, speed and Markdown. MediaWiki — if you need templates, categories and Wikipedia-grade power.

Can it be public?

Yes, both engines work publicly. A mixed mode is also possible — part open, part closed.

Need the knowledge in one place?

I will prepare the structure and show how search works on real content.
