Why teams choose Docmost over MediaWiki
No Wiki Syntax
MediaWiki requires learning Wikitext markup. Docmost's block editor lets your team write naturally with a modern interface — no syntax memorization needed.
Built for Teams
MediaWiki was designed for public encyclopedias, not private team knowledge. Docmost is built for team workflows — real-time collaboration, inline comments, and page-level permissions your organization can rely on.
Simple to Deploy & Maintain
Deploy Docmost with a single Docker command. MediaWiki requires PHP, extensions management, and significant configuration to match basic collaboration features.
