After working with HTML markup with my website and having to use a workflow where articles are first written in Simplenote and then copied to HTML, MediaWiki streamlined the process well. I can write, edit, and present all in one place. Side effect is having a part of my website that doesn't carry the same CSS, but I'll live with that. It's also a place where I can play with extensions and configurations without tinkering with my team's wiki.

One of the reason I wanted to create my own instance of MediaWiki is to decide on my own best practices for me and my team. Part of that is deciding whether I want to adapt to Wikipedia's philosophy of no external links in the main body of the wiki. That sounds like a noble goal, not one that is true for my team's wiki, one that I will strive for here. I also want to strive for no orphaned pages for whatever I write--every page can be traversed to from this page.

Something that the MediaWiki framework does well is citations. I'm hoping to use this as a place to organize research notes and be able to link back to the source.

Introduction

I've been managing the MediaWiki at my work for some time. I didn't appreciate it at first because I enjoyed the convenience of tools like Simplenote, Notion, and Google Docs. But I've come to love the service in terms of being able to get a large amount of information publicly to my team.
