Enterprise hub



Enterprise wikis are meant to be used in a corporate (or organizational) context with a focus on enhancing internal knowledge sharing and a greater emphasis on features like access control, integration with other software, and document management.

To see how how others organizations use MediaWiki, see MediaWiki testimonials.

If you want to collaborate with other third-party MediaWiki users, please join the mediawiki-enterprise mailing list.

 * Extension:IntraACL

Sign-on

 * Extension:LDAP Authentication
 * Leverage an existing LDAP (including Microsoft Active Directory, Kerberos) as a single sign-on
 * Alternatives:
 * Extension:Windows NTLM LDAP Auto Auth

Display

Editing

 * Extension:ParserFunctions
 * Bundled with core, required for complex templating including most WP templates.

 * WYSIWYG editor sponsored by WikiMedia.


 * Vector
 * A Polished skin for MediaWiki that comes bundled by default. Enable Extension:Vector for advanced functionality for this skin.


 * Extension:Cite
 * Display citations to show where information originated. This is particularly useful when merging data from a single document on multiple wiki pages to indicate why the information is authoritative.

Navigation & Search

 * Extension:BreadCrumbs2
 * Navigation aid when traversing the wiki, usually used to display and highlight a category hierarchy.


 * Extension:CategoryTree
 * Improve category listings with counters for contained pages of sub-categories.


 * Extension:SphinxSearch
 * An alternative to the default search engine, lightweight but allowing more robust indexing of content through the third-party Sphinx engine.
 * Alternatives:
 * Extension:Lucene-search -- more complicated but more robust still, used by large wikis like Wikipedia


 * Extension:Semantic MediaWiki
 * Allows you to add meta data to content in wiki articles and providing a query language for dynamically retrieving content including properties and lists of articles.
