Sysadmin hub/fa



This is a place for system administrators to get help installing, upgrading, configuring or maintaining the MediaWiki software on a third-party wiki.

These pages are in constant development. If you can't find the information you are looking for, or have found useful information somewhere we have not linked to, then please leave a comment on the support desk and someone will look into it.

If you want to collaborate with other third-party MediaWiki users, the MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group (MWStake) is a MediaWiki user group consisting of MediaWiki developers, system administrators, users, consultants, and hosting providers. Also, please consider joining the mediawiki-enterprise mailing list.
