MediaWiki

End Point uses MediaWiki internally and supports it for several of our clients.

MediaWiki’s “poster child” application is the impressive Wikipedia, for which MediaWiki was originally written. It is used on other Wikimedia sites and in independent deployments around the world. MediaWiki is free, open source software distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). This allows anyone to use the software on any number of servers without restrictions on number of users, connections, CPUs, or size of data set. There are no initial purchase or recurring fees.

MediaWiki relies on other open source software, such as PHP, Apache, and an SQL database. MediaWiki establishes user roles, with different capabilities, making it useful in a private business environment.

Put End Point’s MediaWiki developers to work for you!

Extensibility

End Point developers have experience developing MediaWiki extensions, including an extension authored by our own Greg Sabino Mullane.

Support for multiple database back-ends

MediaWiki works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. End Point’s Greg Sabino Mullane, a major contributor to PostgreSQL, wrote the MediaWiki PostgreSQL interface, which we recommend.
