"The appeal of MediaWiki, the original application written for Wikipedia, goes far beyond the trademark look, navigation, and page editing -- though there's clearly value in using software that most users already know. Administrators should find MediaWiki simple to install, upgrade, and maintain. Customization is trivial using different skins or altering style sheers. Content contributors benefit from time-saving features, including automatic table of contents generation. And the system can do more by installing multimedia features and extensions; some of these let you write mathematical formulas or quickly build time lines."
Very kind of them not to mention the lack of built-in/well-supported WYSIWYG and web control panel, broken support for website admins without shell access or running in safe mode, terrible memory footprint, complicated and slow parser, poorly-organized code, systematic failure to review submitted patches . . . :) Good for us, though.
