MediaWiki/da

Note: the name "MediaWiki" is often confused with several other, similar, names; please see the glossary for an explanation of these.

MediaWiki is wiki software, released under the GPL, that is used by Wikimedia projects and others. It is an implementation of a wiki, a content pool that anyone can freely edit. It is developed using Phabricator, our instance of Phacility's Phabricator.

MediaWiki 1.45.1 is the latest stable version, and is recommended for third-party users. Those running their own servers should upgrade for security reasons. Special:Version shows what version a site is running. You can play around in the local Sandbox to see this version in action.

MediaWiki 1.45.1 is available for download from MediaWiki.org, a site that is also responsible for the documentation of the software. MediaWiki 1.47.0-wmf.16 (df8bc65) is currently running on all Wikimedia sites. Third-party users should probably not run the alpha/beta versions of MediaWiki on publicly accessible servers at this time.

Database dump

For downloadable dumps of Wikipedia's article database, see Wikipedia:Database download. For a description of the database format and fields, see database layout.

To create your own dump of a local MediaWiki site, you can use the dumpBackup.php script found in the maintenance directory of your MediaWiki installation tree.

An example invocation to a full backup might look like:

 php maintenance/dumpBackup.php --full > full.xml

Command line options for dumpBackup.php are explained by running it with no parameters, i.e.

 php maintenance/dumpBackup.php

However, there are some extra undocumented options in its source code.
