Merge List of wiki software with this table
The List of wiki software article doesn't serve any particular purpose and is basically a subset of the entries described in more detail here. I suggest that it be merged into this article. Greenman (talk) 10:03, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- I agree Houdinipeter (talk) 17:52, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose – Lists have a simpler format, making it much easier to extract the names on the list. They are also easier to build, edit, and maintain. Replacing bulleted lists with tables is not advisable. They both have their uses. The Transhumanist 21:37, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- It makes it harder to maintain, as there are two articles instead of just one. Also, people tend to edit one or the other, making both articles less likely to be accurate. Greenman (talk) 10:50, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- Agree, for the reasons given above. —DIV (120.17.108.101 (talk) 13:36, 2 December 2018 (UTC))

Installation: disk space
Could we add a new column in the "Installation" table providing a guide on the amount of disk space required for installation? —DIV (120.17.108.101 (talk) 13:31, 2 December 2018 (UTC))
- I have added a column for this to the last table in the article, but most rows need to be filled in.
- They ideally should also all have references. However, given that basically the entire table is unreferenced/unsourced, I consider this not to be a faux pas in this case.

Outdated
This looks kind of outdated. For example the export section could be reworked and/or is false according to this comparison service: https://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:8A60:C000:1:B0CD:69D9:2E7A:C59F (talk) 15:03, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- Could it be that you're working under different assumptions as to what accounts as export? I think the table is about the ability to export towards an open format. Please point out any inconsistency you find. Nemo 15:40, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
Matterwiki
It would be nice if someone could add Matterwiki to this list. I don't know enough about it to do it myself. --Neuhaus (talk) 12:28, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Is Microsoft SharePoint a wiki?
So, is SharePoint a wiki? I know it says it has 'wiki pages' but is declaring itself a wiki enough to actually *be* a wiki? For example, does it offer markup source? Cheers. --NightMonkey (talk) 15:09, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
HackMD / CodiMD
Is there a reason why these are not included? HackMD – CodiMD Simon Grant (talk) 07:11, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Features : talk / discussion pages
I have tried 'demo' versions of PmWiki and DocuWiki, and neither seemed to offer Talk Pages (or discussion pages) for articles. I consider this to be a notable feature of wiki software, and so I suggest that the presence/absence of this feature be documented in a table in the present article.
—DIV (137.111.13.17 (talk) 02:28, 14 June 2022 (UTC))
Filter by attributes?
It would be fantastic if i could filter the lists somehow. I'm looking for a wiki that supports markdown, is open source and can store the data on a WebDAV share. It's difficult to find the solutions that fullfil those requirements. --Neuhaus (talk) 20:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
Wikitext
I use Mediawiki as multi-personnal CMS,. The key feature for me is full wikitext support. So I can use my pages on another wiki. Should there be not a "wikitext compatibility" column? 193.252.172.116 (talk) 08:39, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
Missing software
I see there are a few other mentions of HackMD/CodiMD/HedgeDoc and Matterwiki above, and I'd like to add Anytype but figured I'd try to collate them here. In the case of Anytype there is some weirdness in the license they're using, and I wasn't sure how best to represent it in the table, which is why I'm opening this up here in talk rather than adding directly to the article itself.
- HackMD
- CodiMD
- HedgeDoc
- Matterwiki
- Anytype
Jgaehring (talk) 17:15, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
- This is a list of software that have pre existing English Wikipedia articles. None of those appear to have articles. MrOllie (talk) 18:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
Date sorting
@Arx - 83: Note that this edit breaks sorting on the table. Greenman (talk) 09:15, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info and fixing it. Maybe we can add flag "P548=Q2804309" to get the most recent stable version? Arx - 83 (talk) 19:11, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Greenman, thanks for pointing me on the "date sorting". Note that neither your edit resolved the broken sorting on the table. I hope my recent edits (about Obsidian and MediaWiki) meets your concerns. Arx - 83 (talk) 08:25, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Can someone fix the double date listed under MediaWiki?
The latest release date is listed twice for mediawiki (21 December 2023; 21 December 2023) I don't know how to fix it, since it's some weird wikidata template thing and I'm not entirely sure what's causing it. Can someone fix it please? ─╣ Theooolone ── Talk ╠─ 17:57, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- I resolved the double date listed under MediaWiki.
- Cause: MediaWiki wikidata property "software version identifier" (P348) had two entries marked with "Preferred rank", the 1.39.6 long-term support release (P548=Q15726348) and the 1.41.0 stable version (P548=Q2804309), which publication date (P577) were both shown.
- @Theooolone, I hope this meets your request. Arx - 83 (talk) 09:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
