Some things MediaWiki doesn't do so well...

 * 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. It can host a wiki on an organization's internal network, where only insiders see it.
 * 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.
