PmWikis

PmWikis is an online collaborative knowledge base that allows registered users to create, edit, and maintain articles on a wide range of topics. Similar to other wiki platforms, it is based on a web‑based system that uses a simplified markup language to format text, insert images, and add links. The platform was launched in 2012 by a group of open‑source enthusiasts who sought to provide a middle ground between the large, heavily moderated wikis and small, privately maintained sites.

The user interface focuses on ease of use, providing a WYSIWYG editor for newcomers while still supporting raw markup for advanced users. Users can track changes to articles, view revision histories, and revert to earlier versions if necessary. A robust permissions system lets administrators control who can edit certain sections. PmWikis also incorporates discussion pages for each article, allowing contributors to negotiate content and resolve conflicts.

Email notifications keep contributors informed about changes to the articles they monitor. The platform offers an API that enables developers to build extensions or integrate it with other systems. While PmWikis is primarily used for educational and hobbyist projects, it has also been adopted by small organizations for internal documentation. The community around PmWikis is active on its own support forum, where users share templates, troubleshooting tips, and style guides to maintain consistency across the site.
