Before you start

MediaWiki is server software.

As with any software that you expose to the internet, there may be bugs or security problems. Do not install MediaWiki unless you intend to keep up with security upgrades (please subscribe to receive announcements of security updates).

MediaWiki is geared towards the needs of the Wikimedia Foundation.

The program is primarily developed to run on a large server farm for Wikipedia and its sister projects. Features, performance, configurability, ease-of-use, etc are designed in this light; if your needs are radically different the software might not be appropriate for you.

MediaWiki is free software.

No guarantee or warranty of any kind is provided.
