Hi Derric,
I was just looking through my emails and saw this one, and realized that I
misunderstood the question - for some reason, I thought this was sent to
the Semantic MediaWiki mailing list, not the enterprise MediaWiki mailing
list. Anyway, "SMW" stands for "Semantic MediaWiki", but if you just
replace "SMW" with "MediaWiki", the answer is still valid.

Hi Derric,
I suppose it depends on what you mean by a "regulated industry", but there
are certainly other companies that use SMW that are regulated by the FDA -
Pfizer is one example.
And there are various SMW installations, regulated and otherwise, that use
tools to allow for reviewing user changes; PendingChanges/FlaggedRevs and
Approved Revs are two tools that are used for such purposes.

Hello everyone,
Another employee at my work posed an interesting question to me today
that I didn’t know the answer to. He asked, are there any other companies
in regulated industries that make use of Mediawiki. I told him I’d ask
here because I didn’t know.
To provide a little bit of context for the question: we are currently
developing an extension that allows us to do risk assessments and software
validation for compliance with the FDA’s CFR 21 Part 11. We are using
Mediawiki as the basis for this because we already use it for our knowledge
base and because this means that we can take advantage of the history
tracking functionality of Mediawiki allowing us to see who changed what
when, something that is reasonably important.
We also are making use of Mediawiki to allow electronic access our SOPs
for most of the laboratory, this is controlled through the Pending Changes
extension combined with page protection to ensure that changes can only be
made by a few select people and that they get reviewed before going live.
I myself am also curious whether or not any other businesses make use of
Mediawiki in similar ways or in similar enviornments.
Thank you,
