Manual:What is MediaWiki?/el

MediaWiki is a free server-based wiki software, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It's designed to serve a website that gets millions of hits per day.

Πιθανότατα γνωρίζεις τη Βικιπαίδεια, την ελεύθερη εγκυκλοπαίδεια, και ίσως να έχεις μια μικρή σύγχυση με παρόμοιες, αλλά διαφορετικές λέξεις όπως Wiki, Wikimedia ή MediaWiki.

The words "wiki", "Wikimedia", and "MediaWiki" have caused some confusion.

Για να αποφευχθεί ενδεχόμενη σύγχυση ανάμεσα στις λέξεις ίσως να θέλεις πρώτα να διαβάσεις το λήμμα σχετικά με τα ονόματα όπου εξηγούνται οι διαφορές.

Γενική επισκόπηση
MediaWiki is an extremely powerful, scalable software and a feature-rich wiki implementation that uses PHP to process and display data stored in a database, such as MySQL.

Pages use MediaWiki's wikitext format, so that users without knowledge of HTML or CSS can edit them easily.

When a user submits an edit to a page, MediaWiki writes it to the database, but without deleting the previous versions of the page, thus allowing easy reverts in case of vandalism or spamming. MediaWiki can manage image and multimedia files, too, which are stored in the file system. For large wikis with lots of users, MediaWiki supports caching and can be easily coupled with proxy server software. With dedicated extensions, MediaWiki can also handle structured data.

Yes, you can easily modify pages, and you can (temporarily) publish dummy sentences, and you can even (temporarily) completely destroy a page in a wiki. You don't need to have any programming skills to do this.

We suggest you exercise yourself within our sandbox. Please isolate your testing there, though: the admins might not take too kindly to your mischief otherwise.

Μερικά πράγματα που το MediaWiki δεν κάνει τόσο καλά...

 * Επειδή το MediaWiki σχεδιάστηκε για ανοικτό περιεχόμενο, δεν είναι συχνά κατάλληλο για καταστάσεις όπου θέλετε να περιορίσετε πρόσβαση σε μέρος του wiki. It can host a wiki on an organization's internal network, where only insiders see it.
 * MediaWiki has been designed to serve very high-traffic websites such as Wikipedia. It has been optimized for this use and may not be suitable for smaller sites, where disk space or memory are bigger restrictions than bandwidth.
 * MediaWiki is not normally a suitable replacement for dedicated forum/blogging software if that is what you are after.

In the above cases, there may be other wiki software (or non-wiki software) better suited to your needs.
