- foobarbecue 3y agoThat's pretty special, though. A free web service without ads or other BS. Please let me know if you find a good replacement for Miraheze.
- culi 3y agomedia wiki's a particularly complicated thing to host and I don't think there's anything else quite like MiraHeze currently. It's been used by everything from video game wikis to casual conlangers to even some state governments so I'd say it's a pretty big deal
- starkparker 3y ago> media wiki's a particularly complicated thing to host Is it, though? Like it's a directory of PHP and a MySql database.
- Blahah 3y agoThat's true only because mediawiki is designed for the infrastructure of a previous era, and massively overengineered for these kinds of use cases. Use any of the many free solutions for hosting a free site now. Use tiddlywiki in a single file for 99%+ of wikis. Or any linked markdown system. Making sites for small communities is easier than ever but harder to discover due to noise. That doesn't make mediawiki good.
