Cards and associated pages
Page tabs are displayed in the upper section of the pages. These tabs allow users to carry out actions or browse other pages that are related to the current one. Available default actions include browsing, editing, and a discussion about the current page.
Name spaces
Name spaces are prefixes that come before the name of a page (e.g. “User:” or “Talk:”), which serve to describe the purpose of the page and make it possible for multiple pages with varying functions to exist under the same name.
Tagging categories
Users can create new categories and add pages and files to these categories by adding one or more category tags to the content’s text. Adding these tags creates links in the lower section of the page, which lead readers to a list of all pages in this category, making it easier to browse associated articles.
Groups and access restriction
MediaWiki offers flexibility in the creation and definition of user groups. It is also possible to set up a group of “automatically confirmed users”, of which a person becomes a member after making a certain number of edits and functioning for a certain number of days.
Installation
Although installing MediaWiki software is relatively simple, it is advisable to use the services of an IT specialist to create it for the required purposes. The installation guide is available here at this address.
