This is a technical manual for the MediaWiki software. It contains information about installing, running and developing for the MediaWiki software. We also have a set of public domain help pages for users of the software. Currently much content is still on meta. This manual will be expanded to include all the other nitty-gritty bits of info that are useful to developers and sysadmins.
Note: There are still a lot of holes in our documentation! Please see the 'to do' page for details.
