Miraheze
is a free, United States, 501(c)(3) non-profit wiki hosting service operated by the WikiTide Foundation, that uses
MediaWiki
version 1.41?
as its hosting engine, and commits to upgrade to the most recent stable version.
Miraheze auto-installs several MediaWiki extensions on new wikis, with users having the option to enable many other extensions on the wiki (and request new ones), including
VisualEditor
and
StructuredDiscussions
.
Miraheze is supported by user donations and does not include any advertising on wikis it hosts.
Miraheze currently hosts more than 6,250 wikis.
Miraheze
can download any MediaWiki extension, at the request of the operator of the wiki, provided that it passes a security review.
Many of these can be found at
Wikimedia's Git code repositories
.
To see extensions that are currently downloaded on Miraheze see
their GitHub
.
There are also
Extensions by Miraheze
, available as free open source software.
If requested, Miraheze provides support for custom domains, as long as the domain is pointed to them
as it is said here
.
Miraheze uses open-source code, and hosts it using
GitHub
.
Miraheze uses their own extension, called
ManageWiki
in order to allow users on individual wikis to enable/disable extensions, change a variety of settings (their logo, their favicon, etc.), and change permissions and manage namespaces.
Miraheze uses
Phorge
for issue/bug reports, as well as requesting some features for wikis that are not included in the default ManageWiki options.
Miraheze currently functions with 49 different servers used for different purposes (MediaWiki, Varnish, Database, Puppet, Test, Swift, etc.).
A list of these servers and each of their functions can be seen
