M:MediaWiki
From Atkinspedia
MediaWiki is wiki software, released under the GPL, that is used by Wikimedia projects and others. It is an implementation of a wiki, a content pool that anyone can freely edit. It is developed using SourceForge and MediaZilla (our version of BugZilla). MediaWiki's sites (sites about MediaWiki) are http://www.mediawiki.org/ and http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/.
Those running their own servers should upgrade for security reasons. Special:Version shows what version a site is running. You can play around in the local Sandbox to see this version in action.
The latest stable version of MediaWiki, is currently available for download from http://www.wikimedia.org/ . The latest development version of MediaWiki is currently running on all M:Wikimedia sites. Third-party users should probably not run the alpha/beta versions of MediaWiki on publically-accessible servers at this time, unless you really keep up with fixes.
