Guide for Using MediaWiki in a Hosted Environment
MediaWiki is a free and open-source software package originally developed as a platform for Wikipedia but now widely used by companies, government departments and individuals for a diverse range of knowledgebases, intranets and websites. The documentation available on the MediaWiki.org website is comprehensive but seems useful primarily for high-end users or systems administrators with direct access to the server.
The aim of this Guide, however, is to assist individuals or others considering a MediaWiki-based website on a hosted environment, without access to a server.
The seven major topic areas below start with the question "Is MediaWiki right for you?". If you do choose to use MediaWiki then I hope the articles in this Guide will assist you.
In each article there are also links to relevant Manuals and Help pages on the MediaWiki.org website.
Major Topics

Installation
Initial Configuration
Systems Administrator Role

Customising
Using MediaWiki
