          But for pure wiki I prefer MediaWiki. It is the industry standard, very well known, handles code well and scales easily.

              If you want something that is hosted and free, I believe Comm100 has a free product.

                  Agreed. It'll be even more useful when VisualEditor is released.

                  I've had my own cloudy version of mediawiki for about three years, it makes for a nice knowledge base to move from job to job with.

                    We use MediaWiki for our "house wiki." We track all of our home data there. Bills, accounts, insurance, whatever. Very handy.

                      A guy in Michigan wrote his own Wiki for in house use at his company and also is sharing it with the EQEmu community.
                      I don't have a public display link yet since he has it locked right now, but it is very friendly to use.

                        I can't say favorite, but I did install a Mediawiki 2 weeks ago. It took about an hour for the initial LInux (CentOS) and MediaWiki install - about another hour to tweet and install a few extensions.

                          I like DokuWiki for simplicity. Doesn't use a database which makes it incredibly simple to admin and backup.

                            Which is better over all?
                            mediaWiki or DokuWiki?

                              So this is a tough one. MediaWiki is the more popular and more powerful. Its' the one that Wikipedia runs on. It scales like you would not believe.

                              The difference is that MediaWiki is a front end and requires MySQL or MariaDB in the back to do the heavy lifting. So you have to provide and manage a database too. Taking backups means taking DB backups.

                              DokuWiki does not use a database and is pure PHP using the filesystem to handle the different pages. You back it up like any folder full of text documents - you just copy them. It is crazy easy to install and support.

                                I suppose since my host has both - I can install and check them out.
