MediaWiki 1.1 Beginner’s Guide by Packt Publishing is a concise and practical guide that steps the reader through all the basics of setting up and running a MediaWiki site. It is a hands-on, learn-by-example book. It will take the reader through installation, creating user accounts, creating content, formatting content, adding media, organizing content, security, managing editing conflicts, customization, back-up, and extensions. Integration with WordPress, Joomla! and Moodle are also covered. While the subject of customizing MediaWiki’s skin takes a whole book of its own to cover properly (see MediaWiki Skins Design, also from Packt Publishing), it is briefly covered in one chapter of this book. If you will be spending any time administering a wiki of your own, it is worthwhile to get this book rather than relying on the free MediaWiki documentation that is available on the web.
