A powerful and extensible open source Wiki engine

Visit WackoWiki

WackoWiki is an open-source wiki engine designed for collaborative content creation and knowledge management. It solves the problem of organizing, editing, and sharing information within teams or communities by providing a lightweight, scalable platform that remains fast even in large deployments. The software helps users build structured documentation or project portals while maintaining content integrity through robust access controls.

The engine offers features such as full revision control with powerful diff comparisons, per-page access control lists, WYTIWYG editing, section editing, and integrated page commenting. It includes page watching with email notifications, design themes (skins), multiple cache levels, per-page or global uploads with thumbnail creation, and automatic table of contents generation. WackoWiki supports actions and highlighters to extend markup and embed dynamic functionality, and it is fully multilingual with UTF-8 support. It requires PHP, a web server, and MariaDB, MySQL, or SQLite.

WackoWiki is intended for businesses, educational institutions, open-source projects, and individuals needing a personal wiki or enterprise documentation platform. As an open-source project, it is available for download without a free plan or trial mentioned; there is no information about editions, seat-based or usage-based packaging.
