Manual:What is MediaWiki?/yue

你可能會知道維基百科，自由嘅百科全書，但又可能同個Wiki、Wikimedia或者MediaWiki呢啲相似，但係唔同嘅字有啲混淆.

要防止呢啲字可能性嘅混淆，你可能首先可以去讀吓有關名嘅一篇文去講出有乜嘢分別.



General overview
MediaWiki係一套自由嘅伺服器端軟件，以 GNU General Public License (GPL) 發放. 呢個軟件係響一個大型伺服器農場度，專係畀啲一日有成百萬點擊嘅網站去用.

MediaWiki係一套十分之有能力、有彈性嘅軟件，而且重點住利用PHP技術去處理同埋響佢嘅MySQL資料庫度顯示資料，達到豐富嘅wiki模式.

啲版係用MediaWiki嘅wikitext格式，噉啲唔識XHTML同埋CSS嘅用戶就可以好經易噉編輯佢哋.

當一個用戶遞交咗一版嘅編輯嗰陣，MediaWiki會將佢寫到資料庫度，但又唔會刪除之前嗰版嘅版本，呢個方法可以更加容易噉對破壞或者倒水行為打番回頭. MediaWiki亦都可以管理儲存響檔案系統嘅圖像同埋多媒體檔案. 而有啲大型而又多用戶嘅wiki站，MediaWiki亦都會提供快取，提供同Squid代理伺服器軟件有更緊密嘅連接.



MediaWiki 係……

 * MediaWiki 係一套 wiki 軟件.


 * 如果你唔知乜嘢係 wiki ，噉響繼續之前睇吓呢篇維基百科文章！


 * MediaWiki 係一套伺服器端軟件.


 * As with any software that you expose to the internet, there may be bugs or security problems. Do not install MediaWiki unless you intend to keep up with security upgrades (please subscribe to receive announcements of security updates).


 * MediaWiki is geared towards the needs of the Wikimedia projects.


 * The program was primarily developed to run on a large server farm for Wikipedia and its sister projects. Features, performance, configurability, ease-of-use, etc are often designed in this light; if your needs are radically different the software might not be appropriate for you.


 * MediaWiki 係一套自由軟件.


 * 佢唔會提供乜野嘅保證同保用.

試吓Wikitext
係呀，你可以好容易噉改啲版，同埋你可以（暫時）噉發佈一啲替代句子，你同時亦都可以（暫時）完全整壞響wiki嘅一版. 你唔使需要任何嘅編程技巧，就可以做到.

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.

你亦都可以透過可以睇吓一啲基本嘅格式指令.

一啲嘢 MediaWiki 唔能夠做得好好嘅……

 * 由於 MediaWiki 係基於開放內容設計嘅，因此你想限制一部份嘅 wiki 有時係會唔適合嘅. (Though powering an entirely closed site, like an internal company wiki, is not a problem.)
 * MediaWiki 係基於一啲非常高流量嘅網頁設計嘅，就好似維基百科. 佢係為佢用量而最佳化，可能唔適合用響一啲小型嘅網站，空間或者記憶體嘅限制都會大過流量.
 * MediaWiki 唔係一個對於只有論壇／網誌較件嘅一般代用品.

響以上嘅情況可能會有其它嘅 wiki 軟件（或其它嘅非 wiki 軟件）去更符合你嘅需要.
