Wikipedia:MediaWiki (archive)

Wikipedia has been switched to a new software, called the PHP script, on January 25, 2002.

Information and discussion about this software can be found on the following pages:

• New features
• Bug reports
• Feature requests
• Tech talk

Old pages that should be moved into the Wikipedia namespace:

• Wikipedia PHP script

Magnus Manske is the author of the software, which is written in PHP and uses an underlying MySQL relational database. The software is released under GPL. Other programmers are strongly urged to get involved. Some discussion of the script and requirements are ongoing on Wikipedia-L.

The code can be gotten via anonymous CVS from the Sourceforge Wikipedia project. To download the latest code, use

 CVSROOT = cvs.wikipedia.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wikipedia
 package phpwiki
 directory fpw

Note: do not download the tar.gz file from sourceforge, it is outdated.
