MediaWiki Tips

MediaWiki is free open source software (FOSS) used to edit and publish Wikipedia as well as many other wikis, including our Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) wiki.

 

What is a wiki?

A wiki is a website that allows quick editing of its content and structure by its users. The most popular wiki is Wikipedia. "Fun fact"... the term "wiki" actually means quick in Hawaiian.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace Wiki

The Pikes Peak Makerspace Wiki was first launched in the middle of May 2015 by James Gravert and Brandon Hall.

It was taken down for a period of time, but fortunately in the middle of 2021 it was reestablished from backups by Brandon Hall.
