In learning how to use and administer MediaWiki, I found that many of the Help articles were directed at folks who had an understanding of PHP and MySQL, and/or had years of developer experience. All of the command-line instructions were a bit intimidating to see. This article is intended for folks (like me) who are new to MediaWiki, are using MediaWiki on a hosted site, or have little-to-no experience managing websites.

As a technical writer, I follow the "See one, Do one, Teach one" philosophy of learning. This article is my "Teach one" advice to build an online help system using MediaWiki on a hosted site.
