    Without any text it’s really hard to guess what you want and that’s why you get so many different answers.

    Do you want to

    Note that I suspect you actually want the third one, in which case I suggest you avoid MediaWiki. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s almost certainly overkill for your use-case and there’s way simpler, easier-to-setup-and-maintain systems with fewer moving parts out there.

      Also, someone may want a snapshot of Wikipedia, but not need to run a full copy – like, they don’t need article history and such. You can get that too.

      I kind of regret that, because I don’t like the proliferation of wiki syntaxes. Like, I’d rather have just one syntax that everyone could learn.

      I have a the logo of the Wikipedia right in the post, and I explicitly say Wikipedia, not wiki, not a knowledge database 🫣

            I suspect, if you were to stop being an entitled asshole, “these nice people” would find it a bit easier to be nice to you.

        What a stupid reply. Expecting free help, but posting more than a logo from google is asking too much.

        I try to be positive here on programming.dev but someone gave you an incredibly thoughtful reply and you returned the favor with absolute disrespect. I think the only positive outcome here would be for me to simply block you and encourage others to do the same.

        I’m sorry that my attempt to find out what you want to be able to provide useful help annoyed you.

          Not annoyed, but many other people understood what I meant, and your suspicion was not correct, although I really used name Wikipedia explicitly (also, the image is PNG, it has word Wikipedia, but Lemmy decided to not show it, but when I was attaching it, it was showing)

            Looks like you live in a dystopia, where making healthy relations are scarce.

            Maybe you would be great to practice your social skills, dude…

              Any specific reason to be so rude ? Didn’t expect this in the friendly Selfhosted community, but I didn’t read all comments.

                I feel ambiguous with that question…

                Clearly OP has social skills issues and maybe it’s a genuine question. Or it can be just a way to offend…

                Either way I think OP must rethink hes attitude toward other people.

      I’ll hop on this, a while back I was curious about hosting game wikis, like ripping from fandom and hosting myself. Any good ideas for that?
