MediaWiki questions

Quick answers to things people ask before signing up.

Can I make my wiki private?
Yes. MediaWiki can be set so only logged-in users can read or edit pages.
Can I edit pages without learning wiki markup?
Yes. MediaWiki includes VisualEditor, which lets you edit pages much like a word processor.
Are there simpler wikis?
Yes. DokuWiki and PmWiki are also in Softaculous and do not need a database.
