internal wiki

[JoeBloggs]

Hello,

 

Anyone got an internal wiki server?

 

If so what are people using?

 

Going to set one up for IT staff to find answers quickly.

 

Thanks

I tested this:

https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki#

I managed to getting it working with LDAP. But if you have Office 365 set up I bet wikis are in Sharepoint somewhere.

+ for DokuWiki. We use it religiously within the IT department for our documentation. Authentication against AD can be done with a plugin. What's nice about it is that it doesn't require a database. All the pages and config are stored as text files, which makes backup/restore/migration a lot easier compared to other options like MediaWiki.

OneNote on a SharePoint share...brilliant, so flexible, so simple. Just works.

Yup SharePoint has had Wikis for a long time I'd hope they existing in SharePoint 365

+1 for DokuWiki. We use it for internal IT documentation too.

We use a MediaWiki, incredibly useful for us.

 

I'm amazed how much I didn't document in my last job compared to my current one.

 

Some well thought out templates for regularly created page types and you're away - our main ones are ServerInfo, SoftwareInfo, PrinterInfo

xWiki is the one I usually use

 

XWiki - The Advanced Open Source Enterprise and Application Wiki (Main.WebHome) - XWiki.org

We have both MediaWiki and DocuWiki. MediaWiki had better editing features, Docuwiki is easier to setup and manage. Personally I prefer the former but the boss said a couple of years ago that we are moving to the latter. I've used https://moinmo.in/ in the past too - it really is the cat's pajamas (or it was when I used it).

If you happen to go with DokuWiki, I can recommend the following plugins:

• https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:edittable - Gives some WYSIWYG table editing options, which is useful when tables get large or contain large chunks of text.
  
• https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:move - Let's you rename a page (it will automatically scan for and update backlinks from the rest of the wiki).
  
• https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:upgrade - Gives a webUI for upgrading DokuWiki to the latest version.
  
• https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap - Lets you add coloured callouts/alerts into pages.
  

 

Whatever you go with, I would also recommend having a syntax cheatsheet for it stuck on the wall in the office. https://www.cheatography.com/explore/search/?q=dokuwiki

Thanks all - I am going with DokuWiki!

I use the wiki plugin for SharePoint, does exactly what we need.

+1 for Mediawiki here, once its setup and AD integrated it is really straight forward to use
