'''MediaWiki''' is a [[wiki software]] package licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]]. It is written in [[PHP]] and requires the [[MySQL]] [[relational database management system]] (although it has some [[PostgreSQL]] support). Historically, MediaWiki was developed to serve the needs of [[Directory:Wikipedia]], a free wiki-based [[encyclopedia]], but it has since become one of the most popular general wiki solutions. Today, it is used by all projects of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], all wikis hosted by [[Wikia]], and many other popular and large wikis.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://s23.org/wikistats/wikis_html.php| title = WikiStats by S23 - List of largest wikis| accessdate = 2006-06-29 | author = "mutante"}}</ref> It has also been deployed by companies as an internal [[knowledge management]] solution, and as a [[content management system]]. Notably, [[Novell]] uses it to operate several of its high traffic websites, which are not editable by the general public.
