What do you mean by multi-user?
In all of the senses that I can think of off the top of my head, except for multiple people editing the same thing at the same time, most wikis and especially MediaWiki are multiuser. Multi simultaneous edits are supported now but only work so well.
The reason for that is, we want give different people their own wiki site. Instead of everyone working on a single site, we want to give everyone a site and all of them contribute to each others sites. This is for class student project uses.
Thanks
Ra

So you want each student to have a work area which is "theirs", but also for them to be able to edit in each other's space if they want?
You should be able to accomplish that simply with page name schemes. All of the Wiki software out there should support doing that.
MediaWiki should also allow you to set up a separate wiki instance (hostname, etc) per user if you want. I'm not sure why you'd need to do that unless you want each student to have administrator control over their space and only their space, though. It would have a lot more overhead and setup effort.
Do you have a more detailed conceptual application usage document?
That what we are trying to accomplish. Give each student their own wiki site to manage and get experiences.
No. I do not have the document. Do you know where I can get one?

You can have however many MediaWiki instances on one system you want, I think. Just new directories and new database instances.
Each one would be completely functionally independent in terms of administrator permissions, etc. The setup process takes a few minutes per instance, I think.
However using different wikis each user would have to create an account on every wiki, unless you set it up to use the same mySQL user table.
