Websites built on the MediaWiki platform, and using a wiki format to organize and display information. This list contains all Internet sites and products that utilize the popular free wiki software MediaWiki, first developed by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. (This group is also behind the most popular and well-known WikiMedia-powered product, Wikipedia.)
WikiMedia was first built to support the original version of Wikipedia, the Internet's crowd-sourced free encyclopedia. Since then, it has expanded in its use as a content management system for writing, editing, sorting and organizing a large database of information. In addition to its use in the world of academia, to connect collaborators working on large-scale text-heavy projects, MediaWiki today forms the backbone of a number of popular Internet websites. This list includes the largest installations of MediaWiki across the Web, including Citizendium, Congresspedia, LyricWiki, OpenWetWare and Wiktionary. MediaWiki is also commonly associated with fan communities, and fan-curated databases of pop culture knowledge. Communities dedicated to "Star Wars," "LOST," Internet humor, TV trivia and even pornography gather and share their knowledge and observations frequently on MediaWiki-powered sites.
