Is it possible to make mediawiki in real time?

What do you mean?

I mean the text should be in real time when i write something, we can make MediaWiki more interactive if the text is in real time.

You mean like with Etherpad? I don't know of a solution for that inside MediaWiki currently...

Yes like Etherpad, but implemented in mediawiki.

I just checked this request further and there is Extension:TogetherJS. Note that its last update is two years old and the extension has been tested with MediaWiki 1.22 only. Nowadays, this MediaWiki version no longer is supported with e.g. security updates.

Another approach is Extension:EtherEditor, which is based on Etherpad Lite. This has been developed for MediaWiki 1.20.

An overview is available at Future/Real-time collaboration!

There also are several issues in phabricator about this: task T112984, task T76548, task T76546 just to mention a few.

So there are efforts in that direction, but it still is a long way to go...
