    Currently 3 out of 20 of our registered users are registered MediaWiki developers, which makes our percentage of developers among users 15%, which is likely the highest figure any public MediaWiki installation can boost so that is an good incentive to try to adapt MediaWiki for our use over other wikis


    MediaWikiTikiWikiMoinMoin
    • Proven to perform well under heavy load - but with hard limits
    • Most likely basis for wikitext standard
    • Working now for R&D purposes
    • Dedicated developer community which also mostly develops content
    • Readable documentation, thanks to the above
    • A very high ratio of developers (15% of registered users) registered in consumerium
    • supports SQL only
    • Group management built-in
    • Visualization of wiki-links
    • Polls built in
    • Many developers doing lots of detail work on CM and CMS
    • supports ALL databases not just MySQL
    • Good parser
    • Python language
    • excellent architecture making extensibility very simple
    • troll in the logo
    • no need for SQL

    Others include VeryQuickWiki (a Java wiki), UseMod (only advantage is that it dumps XML output, very very very important until there is a real wikitext standard).
