Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone knows of a free MediaWiki hosting site that gives one complete control over one's Wiki. I know of Orain Wiki, ShoutWiki and Wikia but they all give fairly limited over the MediaWiki software itself. Basically the website I'm looking for is one that provides a place for my own local Wiki installation on the web for free.
Thanks for your time, Brenton

Hey Breton,
Have you seen Referata? http://referata.com

I hadn't but I have now, thanks. But from what I've gathered so far it is similar to Orain Wiki (e.g., you have to request extra extensions or other features), except its MW version is the latest stable version (I think it's 1.23.1), its default extensions are different, and there are some paid features whereas Orain is wholly free. So it doesn't quite do what I want. See I would like to be able to upload my entire Wiki to the site (extensions, skins, LocalSettings.php, & all) and basically do everything I do with my local wiki (like being able to run php maintenance/scriptname.php, dump the MySQL database, change the logo as I wish, etc.), except in a place on the internet where others can view and edit the Wiki too.

I personally like Orain. One note though: they have had some outages lately.

Thanks Frodo, these sites are the best I've come across so far but do any of them allow shell access? See I have a local wiki I would like to transfer to this online Wiki, via running `php maintenance/importDump.php` on the XML dump of my local wiki. I have tried importing via Special:Import but the dump is far too large for this to work.

Orain will allow that, just let us know and we'll be happy to help out.
FYI, we've nailed down the source of the outages, that should be long past.

Thanks, Arcane, while I've got your attention I wouldn't suppose you could tell me how's it's going with my GitHub extension feature request ( https://meta.orain.org/wiki/Request_features#Atom_Wiki_.28Status:_Partially_...). It's not a particularly tricky extension, unlike that Jmol extension I wanted.

You might be asking a bit much from a free webhosting account if you want shell access. I doubt very many services are going to give you a command prompt where you could run just about anything without making you pay for it.
That said, there are a number of relatively cheap VPS providers who *do* give you full access to a Linux box for a modest fee. My personal go-to is Linode (http://www.linode.com/). You can get a decent low-end box for $10 USD/month. There are probably other even cheaper options out there, but I can vouch for Linode being *very* reliable.

yes, i have searched extensively for such a service and have yet to find one that is not a scam. other people might reccomend 5jelly, but it (in my experience) has never actually worked and it may be connected to spam lists.
you might be able to write a php script to do it though. at least if you used orain they would do this for you.
