MediaWiki vs @WIKI

MediaWiki is free, server-based wiki software for collecting, organizing, and sharing knowledge. Contributors edit pages in wikitext without needing HTML or CSS, and previous page versions remain available for reverting. Administrators can customize appearance and behavior with extensions; caching supports large, high-traffic wikis. Its REST API provides HTTP access to wiki content and functions such as search, page transformations, and history, with JSON or HTML output and extension-specific endpoints. MediaWiki is self-hosted under GNU GPL version 2 or later and is provided without warranty to the extent permitted by law. The latest stable version requires PHP 8.3.0 or later, a web server, and MariaDB 10.3.0+, MySQL 5.7.0+, PostgreSQL 10.0+, or SQLite 3.31.0+. Each release receives security updates for one year, and developers recommend subscribing to the low-traffic mediawiki-announce list. Third-party extensions may be unmaintained, vulnerable, incompatible with some versions, or unreliable together. Documentation, FAQs, community channels, and a support desk are available through the MediaWiki site.

@WIKI is a free wiki-hosting service for creating websites, including game strategy wikis. Its pages can be edited collaboratively, and authors can choose atwiki, word processor, pukiwiki-like or Markdown modes, each with its own syntax and page limits. A visual editor handles text formatting and lets users insert tables and links without learning wiki syntax.

Viewing and editing permissions can be configured separately, with choices for all users, members and administrators, or administrators only. The service saves page source each time and normally retains the previous 100 versions for review, comparison and restoration. Plugins can add images, videos, visitor counts, popular pages, comments and RSS display, but are limited to atwiki and pukiwiki-like modes. External settings list Bing Webmaster Tools, Facebook comments, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console and Twitter. Its API can retrieve, create, update and search pages; deletion is listed as planned. The service is free with advertising, and hiding ads with CSS is prohibited. @WIKI was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
