To MediaWiki, or not to Mediawiki?
I need to get my wiki back up and running again, but sometimes I ask myself: do I really want to go through all of that work trying to set up #MediaWiki all over again?I know there are alternatives. I'm mostly used to MW; I like their layout and interface for the most part. But getting everything the way you want it to be is a real pain.
You're already familiar with MW, so that's something in its favor. I personally prefer Dokuwiki, but DW is a different beast from MW.
