'''MediaWiki sites''' are websites built using the open-source MediaWiki software. Originally developed to power [[Wikipedia]], MediaWiki has become one of the most popular platforms for collaborative content creation and knowledge management.

MediaWiki is designed to enable multiple users to create, edit, and maintain content in a centralized and organized manner. Its versatility and scalability make it suitable for small private projects as well as large-scale public platforms.

=== Key Features ===
* '''Collaborative Editing''': MediaWiki allows users to collaboratively create and edit pages, with every change tracked in a comprehensive revision history.
* '''Wikitext Markup''': The platform uses a lightweight markup language, enabling rich formatting, hyperlinks, and structured content.
* '''Version Control''': All edits are logged, and users can revert to previous versions of a page if needed.
* '''Extensions and Customization''': A vast library of extensions adds features like visual editing, advanced search, and custom data storage.
* '''Multilingual Support''': MediaWiki supports multiple languages, making it a global solution for content creation.
* '''Templates and Infoboxes''': Reusable components help standardize content across the site.

=== Use Cases ===
MediaWiki sites are used for a wide range of purposes, including:
* '''Online Encyclopedias''': MediaWiki powers [[Wikipedia]] and other Wikimedia Foundation projects.
* '''Corporate Knowledge Management''': Many organizations use MediaWiki for internal documentation, such as policies, procedures, and technical guides.
* '''Community Wikis''': Hobbyists and enthusiasts create wikis for topics like gaming, movies, or fan fiction.
* '''Education and Research''': Collaborative academic resources and research databases thrive on the platform.

=== Notable MediaWiki Sites ===
* '''[[Wikipedia]]''': The largest online encyclopedia and the flagship MediaWiki site.
* '''[[Wiktionary]]''': A free dictionary with multilingual support.
* '''[[Wikibooks]]''': A platform for open-content textbooks.
* '''[[Wikimedia Commons]]''': A repository for freely licensed images, videos, and other media.
* '''Fan Wikis''': Sites like [[Fandom]] use MediaWiki to host content on popular franchises, games, and TV shows.

=== Advantages ===
MediaWiki offers several benefits for users and administrators:
* It's free and open-source, reducing costs and providing full control over the site.
* It has a robust community of developers and contributors for support and enhancements.
* It scales well, from small private wikis to massive public projects with millions of users.
