What are the differences between MediaWiki, Wikimedia, Wikipedia and wiki?

This is a common question; please see <tvar|1>Шаблон:Ll</> for a detailed answer.

I want to use a MediaWiki instance to (blank). Am I allowed to?

MediaWiki is free software: this means that you may use it for any purpose without legal hindrance.</translate> <translate> Furthermore, its licensing conditions apply solely to the software itself.</translate> <translate> This means that although many wikis license their content under a permissive license, you are not obliged to license the content submitted to your wiki in any particular way.</translate> <translate> Of course, as a project founded to support sites like Wikipedia, we encourage you to license the texts you write under a free license, but, in short, you are not required to.

If you wish to alter or amend the software itself, in general, you are permitted to, but there are some restrictions and you should consult the full text of the GNU GPL version 2 for details.</translate> <translate> Because MediaWiki is provided free of charge, there is no warranty, to the extent permitted by applicable law. </translate> Шаблон:Anchor <translate>

Installation and configuration

Where do I download MediaWiki?

[[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Download</>|Click here to download the latest stable release of MediaWiki.]] Files are supplied in a .tar.gz archive.</translate> <translate> MediaWiki can also be [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Download from Git</>|obtained directly from our Git]] repository.

How to install MediaWiki?

Installing MediaWiki takes around 10 to 30 minutes, and involves uploading/copying files, and running the installer script to configure the software.</translate> <translate> See <tvar|1>Шаблон:Ll</>, where you will also find the minimum system requirements.

How do I install MediaWiki using a package?

Many Linux distributions provide MediaWiki in a packaged format for that distribution.</translate> <translate> The MediaWiki development team refers you to your Linux distribution for assistance with installing, configuring or using them.</translate> <translate> The individual communities and companies who maintain such packages should provide installation instructions.

Be warned that third-party distributions may be older versions, so pay close attention to compatibility information for directions and extensions. </translate>

Can I install more than one wiki on a server using MediaWiki?

It is possible to install more than one wiki on a server provided that:

• You use a different database for each wiki</translate>

<translate> Or</translate> <translate>

• You use a different database prefix for each wiki (for Postgres, you can achieve a similar effect by using different schemas and users)

For information on these options, see <tvar|1>Шаблон:Ll</> and <tvar|2>Шаблон:Ll</> respectively.

For information on setting up a wiki family, see <tvar|1>Шаблон:Ll</>.

For information on an alternative way of setting up more than one wiki using the same server, database and source, see Steve Rumberg's (archived version) excellent exposé and additional comments from users.

Does MediaWiki work with safe_mode enabled?

Yes, but only to a limited degree.</translate> <translate> See Safe mode for information.

Does MediaWiki require shell access?

Shell access (SSH) is not required for installing MediaWiki, but it is highly recommended.</translate> <translate> Without shell access, it may even be difficult for you to get a backup of your wiki, or to upgrade to a new version.</translate> <translate> Some maintenance tasks are not possible at all without shell access.</translate> <translate> Many major extensions work best with shell access.

How do I install extensions?

See <tvar|1>Шаблон:Ll</> for information about installing and writing extensions.</translate> <translate> See <tvar|1>Шаблон:Ll</> to find existing extensions.

How do I add extra namespaces?

See [[<tvar|1>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces#Creating_a_custom_namespace</>| Creating a custom namespace]].

How do I enable uploading?

File uploads are an often-used feature of MediaWiki, but are disabled by default in all current release versions.</translate> <translate> To enable them, first make the upload directory (default <tvar|1>images</>) writable by the web server (chmod -R 777 ./images or allow the Apache user to write to it, etc.) then set <tvar|2>Шаблон:Ll</> to <tvar|3>true</> in LocalSettings.php.</translate> <translate> If you get a "failed to mkdir" error when you try to upload, it probably means that there's a permissions problem. </translate>
