Intelpedia was featured at Wikimania 2006, as part of the organizational use of MediaWiki, and was also featured in a Wall Street Journal article on the same topic." &mdash; Josh Bancroft, Intel employee and Intelpedia creator

Wikia (Wikipedia article): "MediaWiki software is the foundation of everything Wikia does today.

End Point Corporation: "We use MediaWiki for our private intranet to keep track of much of our business. We have added some customizations (HTTP basic auth logins, a 'watch everything' option) and have installed MediaWiki for several of our clients as well. Our experience has been good. What attracted us to MediaWiki is that its markup format is now widely known due to the popularity of Wikipedia, and we wanted to make it easy for users to edit pages. Installation was fairly  straightforward, although some configuration that doesn't match Wikipedia's needs (such as a closed login-only site) wasn't simple, and patches that the developers think won't ever be used by Wikipedia have not been accepted. But running MediaWiki has been a breeze. [Our clients] found having a Wiki to be very valuable. It frees them from the mess of emailing word processing documents back and forth, with conflicting versions, no clear edit history, and no interlinking. Keeping everything on the server, accessible via a web browser, has been very helpful." &mdash; Jon Jensen, Vice President, Systems and Development


 * Company profile: End Point develops database-backed websites, especially e-commerce, for our clients in many areas. Our technologies of choice are free  software such as Interchange, Perl, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Apache.

Gyanasoft: "When Gyanasoft was founded, MediaWiki was one of the very first IT systems we set up, due to our experience using it at previous companies. It's working out very well as a central repository for all of our knowledge; we use it to store e.g. system administration documents, software installation guides, HR procedures, an internal address book, software tips and tricks, weekly status reports, and all customer project related information. " &mdash; Stephen Warren, Software Architect


 * Company profile: Gyanasoft is focused on providing robust embedded software platform architectures, tools and services, targeted at the System-on-a-Chip market, with particular expertise in Consumer electronics equipment and programmable multi-media processors.
