Many features, flexible, but steep learning curve

Reviewed on 2021/11/23

Pros

It's open source, has a lot of features out-of-the-box, and many plugins. It powers Wikipedia so it is secure and scalable.

Cons

It is hard to use for most people, and the wiki structure needs to be learned for many.

Despite the maintenance work it was even more refreshing to keep the tool in-house and on-premise. It made employees realize the importance of the tool, generating greater involvement of the team as a whole. The tool allowed us to better understand our day-to-day and generate more efficient and dynamic processes.

Pros

It is built on a very simple and popular stack known as LAMPhp and practically anyone in the IT area with internet knowledge will find it easy to install and manage the application.

Cons

Despite being simple and straightforward in the end, it was not without maintenance processes such as updating and backup, which ended up taking a certain amount of time from the IT team.

Reasons for Choosing MediaWiki

Mediawiki had version management in its heart, the others always needed either more elaborate training to explain the procedure or some plugin to be complemented and wikimedia was the only one that despite also allowing expansions had everything we needed. It was just natural

Switched From

WordPress, Notepad++ and Microsoft Word

Reasons for Switching to MediaWiki

The simple fact that we wouldn't need to add any plugin to apply content versioning management.

My Wiki review

Pros

I worked 5+ years with MW. It has a clean interface, fast appearance, with good transparency.

Cons

The editor may seem a bit complicated at first glance, but it's easy to learn.

My overall experience has been great. Especially with smaller teams who need to manage documentation with smaller or no budgets. Having this available is huge for them.

Pros

The ability to just spin up a wiki for free that is opened source is extremely beneficial for these trying times.

Cons

The management and it being an open sourced product will introduce un expected changes or overhead. Even though it is expected it still exists.

I've enjoyed using it. It's a nice introduction to wiki software, but I think Confluence wins it for me.

Pros

It's free to use, the best in class for a long time. It's super easy to get up to speed with using it since it's been around for so long. Lots of tutorials online.

Cons

They really haven't put a lot of effort into upgrading the base software. It seems a little clunky and dated off the bat.

MediaWiki permet de gérer des bases de connaissance complète. Néanmoins, le vocabulaire "wiki" comme les espaces de noms par exemple pourrait en rebuter certains. C'est un bon outil mais pas forcément pour tous les projets. Je le recommande si vous avez beaucoup de contenu à partager ou besoin de fonctionnalités avancées.

Pros

MediaWiki est connu, très utilisé car Wikipedia repose dessus. Il permet de gérer de grandes bases de connaissances de façon efficace et performante. L'intégration d'images et autres médias est facile et l'outil est évolutif grâce à des extensions et des thèmes. Un grand avantage aussi, c'est sa gratuité et sa facilité d'installation.

Cons

Ce logiciel est assez lourd. Pour une petite base de connaissance, il vaut mieux privilégier DokuWiki par exemple. Il es
