MediaWiki is a Wiki server software that is written in PHP.

MediaWiki was originally written for Wikipedia. Wikipedia had previously UseModWiki (aka "Phase I"), and it was switched to the new version ("Phase II") on January 25, 2002. The day is known within Wikipedia as Magnus Manske Day, after the original author of the new software. This version of the software was named MediaWiki as a play on Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikipedia foundation.

The current stable version of MediaWiki is 1.2.4.
