I haven't looked into this, but I think Wikia does or will provide free WM service. Jimmy Wales announced something like this a couple of weeks ago: http://slashdot.org/articles/06/12/12/1553258.shtml
Oh wait, seems like that's not completely ad-free after all. Either way, it might still be worth sharing, so here we go...
HTH.

Does anyone offer free *and ad-free* mediawiki hosting? My project is fairly fannish, so it wouldn't qualify for sf.net free hosting (for example).
I'm currently using awardspace.com, which is free and ad-free, but only runs PHP 4.4.1.
If I'm forced to stick with awardspace.com, what's the last version of mediawiki that will still work with PHP 4 (specifically PHP 4.4.1)?
I do realize other wikis work with PHP 4, but I'm hooked on mediawiki :)
