Officially registered in England and Wales (as ShoutWiki Limited), all ShoutWiki hosted sites are powered by the MediaWiki wiki engine. ShoutWiki is known for its various different, unique MediaWiki extensions (including social tools), along with their ports of various skins (many created from WordPress skins). Many of ShoutWiki's staff members are also MediaWiki developers. See ShoutWiki's website at www.ShoutWiki.com, or ShoutWiki's 'about page' on ShoutWiki to find out more about ShoutWiki in general. ShoutWiki also has [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/285 its own Gerrit group] which consists of ShoutWiki staff developers.

ShoutWiki uses many extensions used by Wikimedia sites, in addition to their own custom extensions. The source code for most of these ShoutWiki custom extensions can be found at Wikimedia's git repository (the official MediaWiki git). See category:Extensions by ShoutWiki for a list of extensions written by ShoutWiki.

As of August 2022, ShoutWiki is available with the option of fifteen (15) skins.
