We migrate your existing content into MediaWiki cleanly and accurately from any source platform - including Confluence, SharePoint, WordPress, DokuWiki, and HTML-based sites. The process covers content extraction, Wikitext conversion, image and file migration, URL redirect mapping, and post-migration validation to ensure nothing is lost or broken.

Why MediaWiki
[edit | edit source]MediaWiki is the same platform that powers Wikipedia - the world's largest encyclopaedia, serving over 250 million page views per day. It is the most widely deployed wiki software in the world, with active installations across universities, government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and open-source communities.
Key characteristics that make MediaWiki the standard choice for professional wiki deployments:
- Free and open-source
- MediaWiki is licensed under GPLv2. There are no per-user licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, and no subscription costs.
- Proven at scale
- The same codebase that serves Wikipedia at global scale is available to any organisation. MediaWiki is trusted by over 50,000 active installations worldwide.
- Self-hosted and secure
- Your wiki runs on your own server. Your data remains on your infrastructure. You maintain full control.
- Full revision history
- Every edit is recorded with author attribution and timestamp. Nothing is ever permanently lost. Rollback to any previous version at any time.
- Flexible access control
- Configure public, semi-private, or fully private wikis using MediaWiki's built-in user group and namespace permission system.
- SEO-friendly architecture
- Clean URLs, semantic HTML output, built-in sitemap generation, and canonical URL support make MediaWiki-based wikis well-indexed by search engines.
- Extensive extension ecosystem
- Over 1,000 extensions are available on MediaWiki.org, covering visual editors, structured data, authentication, search, and much more.
- Multilingual support
- Native support for over 400 languages, including right-to-left scripts and full Unicode storage.
