Running MediaWiki on your own computer

MediaWiki is the software that runs Wikipedia.

MediaWiki is opensource and is available for download for free. You can use it for offline access to the Wikipedia database, or to set up a wiki of your own.

However, MediaWiki requires other software to be able to run. The prerequisite programs are Apache/IIS, MySQL4 or later (5 or later as of version 1.19) and PHP5. When bundled together, these are referred to as AMP. They are also open source and free.

The Manual Installation Guide explains how to install MediaWiki from scratch.

Note that some users may find MediaWiki software bundles and MediaWiki hosting services with 1-click installation and wiki farms to be convenient alternatives to manual installation.

Translating

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for your contributions. When translating from foreign language versions of Wikipedia, such as at Charles Egmond d'Arcis, you need to give attribution:

  • You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at fr:Charles Egmond d'Arcis; see its history for attribution.
  • You should also add the template {{Translated|fr|Charles Egmond d'Arcis}} to the talk page.
  • For more guidance, see Wikipedia:Translation.
