MediaWiki is a Wiki server software that is written in PHP and uses an underlying MySQL relational database.
MediaWiki was originally written for Wikipedia by Magnus Manske. It previously used UseModWiki (aka "Phase I"), and switched to the new version ("Phase II") on January 25, 2002. The day is known within the Wikipedia community as Magnus Manske Day, after the original author of the new software. The software was named MediaWiki as a play on Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikipedia mother foundation.
The current stable version of MediaWiki is 1.2.6.
