Visit An Otter Wiki

An Otter Wiki is a minimalistic wiki application built on Python, Markdown and Git. It provides a place to write and organize wiki pages while keeping a record of changes: the Git backend supplies a full changelog and page history, with optional Git Web Server support. User authentication is included, with self-registration and password recovery.

The editor includes tools for Markdown editing, and pages support file uploads, pasted images and attachments. Extended Markdown covers tables, footnotes, fancy blocks, alerts, formulas and mermaid diagrams (experimental), alongside embeddings such as AttachmentList, DataTable, Figure, ImageFrame, Include, InfoBox, PageIndex and Video. The interface supports a dark mode toggle.

An Otter Wiki is open-source software under the MIT License, with installation, configuration and upgrade guides, a user guide, FAQ, customization and development documentation, plus a live demo and syntax examples. No pricing or packaging details are stated.
