What version of MediaWiki?

I am looking to start my own wiki and I have found the version that psupedia.info uses quite easy to use. I looked all around to see what version it is, yet I haven't had much luck. Could anyone please tell me which version it is and where I can get the files for it? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi It's Version MediaWiki 1.16.2

If you go to the main page of the wiki and in the sidebar click on 'special pages' under 'Tools' and then click on 'version' under 'Wiki data and tools' It will give you the version and php etc.

How does MediaWiki work?

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software at m:Help:Contents

Hi, Also, note that generally you should use the latest version. So even though they use 1.16.2 you should rather get 1.16.4, which is basically just the same but with some security fixes.

1.16 is very very old. It is likely there are unfixed security issues. It also probably won't work with modern web server software.

I reccomend using the latest mediawiki. The stuff that makes it easy to use is probably their extensions and not the specific version.

It is also possible to search for "Special:Version" in the search engine.
