Making the wiki fast

Setting administrative rights
MediaWiki is a permissions-based wiki system. That means that users will only be able to perform the actions they are allowed to do.

As declaring permissions individually for every user would be tedious and impractical, several are pre-defined in MediaWiki.

You are also allowed to declare new user groups, as your needs require.

Individual extensions may also require creating new user rights.

Regardless of how they are created, user groups are fully customizable, by modifying the associative array in your  file.



Sysop (Administrator)
The most common use. A user marked as 'sysop' can delete and undelete pages, block and unblock IPs and use a shortcut revert-to-previous-contributor's-revision feature in contribs, see for more information.

Bureaucrat
Users in this group can change user rights through Special:UserRights.

Bot
A registered bot account. Edits by an account with this set will not appear by default in Recent changes; this is intended for mass imports of data without flooding human edits from view. (Add &hidebots=0 to list changes made by bots e.g. like this)

Installing extensions

 * See 

Extensions are compilations of PHP code that add new features or enhance functionality of the main MediaWiki core.

Localização

 * See 

If you simply want to change the language of a wiki on a per-user basis, this can be done via Special:Preferences. If you selected the wrong language when setting up the wiki simply change the $wgLanguageCode in.

Maintenance scripts

 * See 

MediaWiki has some maintenance script to help doing administrative tasks.

Update MediaWiki

 * See 

Back up

 * See 

It is important to make regular backups of the data in your wiki. This includes the database, uploaded files and extensions.

Importing a database dump

 * See 

If you want a local copy of a Wikimedia wiki, see the overview at meta:Data dumps and the download site.

Converting (importing) existing content

 * See 

Some scripts exist to import data from other wiki engines.

On-wiki customizations

 * See 

Much of the appearance and messaging of MediaWiki is determined by messages that administrators can edit like regular wiki pages.
