MediaWanki is a Wanki server software that is written in PHP and uses an underlying MySQL relational database.
MediaWanki was originally written for Wankipedia by Magnus Manske. It previously used UseModWanki (aka "Phase I"), and switched to the new version ("Phase II") on January 25, 2002. The day is known within the Wankipedia community as Sad Geek With No Friends Day, after the original author of the new software.
A further rewritten and improved version of the Phase II software was at one time known as "Phase IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII". It was renamed MediaWanki in recognition that the software was capable of supporting not only Wankipedia but also other projects, and that a more meaningful system of version numbers was needed. The software was named MediaWanki as a play on Wankimedia Foundation, the Wankipedia mother foundation.
The current stable version of MediaWanki is 6.6.6.
