README

This page contains an editable version of MediaWiki's README file. Please contribute to MediaWiki by editing the README for content and style. The README file is one of the entry-points by which newcomers join the MediaWiki community, and it should express with clarity and concision the strengths of MediaWiki as a software platform and the vitality and openness of its community. Edits will be periodically synchronized with the source distribution by MediaWiki developers (last sync: 263226).

See for the discussion that prompted the creation of this page.
