Can anybody tell about the success story you've had with MediaWiki?
I"m working with a 150 year old company that has been using MediaWiki for a while -- their installation was ~1.11, so we can safely say they've been using it for five years.
For the past few months, I've been working with them to adapt MediaWiki to their needs, implementing a location-sensitive landing page, changing logos of the page based on the category of a page, separating out DB schema changes to accommodate their internal release process where the DBA has to make certain changes (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/38110).
To continue the work, I'll probably write up a Jenkins process (they use Jenkins for deploying applications) to move on-wiki changes (like MediaWiki:Common.js) from the development environment to staging to production.
I'm pretty excited about this work and am looking for other places to apply it.
Mark.
