Manual:What is MediaWiki?/hi

इन शब्दों के बारे में और जानने के लिए "" पढ़ें, जहाँ इसका विवरण दिया गया है।



सामान्य अवलोकन
मीडियाविकि एक मुफ़्त सर्वर-आधारित सॉफ़्टवेयर है, जिसे GNU साधारण सार्वजनिक लाइसेंस (GPL) में लाइसेंस किया जाता है। इसे हर दिन करोड़ों लोगों द्वारा देखे जाने वाले बड़े सर्वर फार्म्स के लिए बनाया गया है।

MediaWiki is an extremely powerful, scalable software and a feature-rich wiki implementation that uses PHP to process and display data stored in a database, such as MySQL.

Pages use MediaWiki's wikitext format, so that users without knowledge of HTML or CSS can edit them easily.

When a user submits an edit to a page, MediaWiki writes it to the database, but without deleting the previous versions of the page, thus allowing easy reverts in case of vandalism or spamming. MediaWiki can manage image and multimedia files, too, which are stored in the file system. For large wikis with lots of users, MediaWiki supports caching and can be easily coupled with proxy server software. With dedicated extensions, MediaWiki can also handle structured data.

Try out Wikitext


Yes, you can easily modify pages, and you can (temporarily) publish dummy sentences, and you can even (temporarily) completely destroy a page in a wiki. You don't need to have any programming skills to do this.

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.

Some things MediaWiki doesn't do so well...
It can host a wiki on an organization's internal network, where only insiders see it.
 * Because MediaWiki was designed for open content, it is often not suitable for situations where you want to restrict access to part of the wiki.
 * MediaWiki has been designed to serve very high-traffic websites such as Wikipedia. It has been optimized for this use and may not be suitable for smaller sites, where disk space or memory are bigger restrictions than bandwidth.
 * MediaWiki is not normally a suitable replacement for dedicated forum/blogging software if that is what you are after.

In the above cases, there may be other wiki software (or non-wiki software) better suited to your needs.
