About

Wiki.js is an open-source wiki platform for documentation and knowledge bases with Markdown, visual editing, version history, and broad self-hosting flexibility.

Wiki.js is one of the stronger open-source wiki products still missing from the catalog. It supports Markdown and visual editing, page history, authentication modules, media assets, theming, and a broad range of deployment options. It is clearly a documentation and knowledge-base product, which makes it a good in-scope addition for teams evaluating open-source wiki software.

Teams wanting open-source wiki software
