I wouldn’t call MediaWiki “modern”
It is nice don’t get me wrong but it isn’t that amazing
For a foundation who’s entire ethos is stability, it makes sense and is a welcome change.
Oh for sure! It looks like something that came out of the 2010s but it’s definitely a jump over MoinMoin.
What’s more modern than mediawiki? For me, it’s as modern as it gets. There are great themes
It always felt a little clunky to me. I’m also not sure if it supports Markdown.
It isn’t bad don’t get me wrong but I also think it could be improved.
MediaWiki works on wikitext and templates (and will also accept HTML elements, but deference is almost always given to the former two instead). There’s no reason for it to support Markdown, as it can do everything Markdown can and more, and the VisualEditor extension (shipped by default) gives you a WYSIWYG editing experience should you not want to edit the source directly.
MediaWiki doesnt natively support Markdown, but there’s an extension called “MarkdownExtraParser” that adds it - I had to use it for our team wiki last year and it works surpisingly well.
It’s just like wikipedia
