MediaWiki is a free open source software written in PHP, for use on Wikipedia. It is also used for several other projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and by many other wikis. I am a new comer at wiki. It is an extremely good non profit company running many sites to promote education. The software is highly customizable, with more than 1,800 extensions available for enabling various features to be added or changed. It has created many tools to make it for people to work on it. MediaWiki has an active volunteer community for its development and maintenance. Users who have made meaningful contributions to the project by submitting patches are generally, upon request, granted access to commit revisions to the project's in apache Subversion and Git. MediaWiki's most famous use has bee,n in Wikipedia and, to a lesser degree, Wikimedia's other projects. But MediaWiki has also been used to power tens of thousands of other wikis, both public and private. A number of alternative wiki encyclopedias to Wikipedia run on MediaWiki. The thing I like the most about mediawiki provides a rich core feature set and a mechanism to attach extensions to provide additional functionality. Due to the strong emphasis on multilingualism in the Wikimedia projects, internationalization and localization has received significant attention by developers and secondly the user interface has been translated into more than 300 languages. But on the other hand I wander that why don't media wiki create a software which can convert a single language in all other language as this would reduce the task of the volunteer. MediaWiki's page-editing tools have sometimes been described as somewhat challenging to learn. But if one understands how to use them then they are very interesting. But if we take the overall view mediawiki is a simple and easy to use software which can be used to promote education and and many other things.
