I think both rules are horrible. Just do the best you can do.
I think that says it all :-)

I have a local music project I want to convert into a wiki-site so musicians can update their own information. I've poked around at different wikis, and the wikipedia syntax is by far the best. So I want to use the wikipedia-software, the wikipedia help pages, but none of the encyclopedia content, on some server-space that I pay for. Is such a thing plausible? Can someone talk me through this? -oliver

IS it possible to run the software on a non-wikipedia server and a non-wikipedia domain name?

Yes, and there are several projects runing Wikipedia software. I believe there is even an install script. But Wikipedia uses up a lot of system resources, so most people choose UseMod. -LDan

Yup! Here are some sites that are doing just that:
