About MediaWiki
MediaWiki hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides the PHP 8.1 environment, MySQL database, and ImageMagick support that MediaWiki requires to power an internal knowledge base, documentation wiki, or public collaborative encyclopaedia on Enhance Panel infrastructure. MediaWiki is the software behind Wikipedia and is widely used by companies, educational institutions, and open-source projects to maintain structured, version-controlled knowledge bases. Self-hosting MediaWiki on UK servers ensures your internal documentation and proprietary knowledge remain in-country - relevant for organisations handling sensitive or commercially valuable information. MediaWiki's page rendering is MySQL-intensive for wikis with large article counts and frequent edits, benefiting directly from the NVMe SSD-backed databases on Glitch Servers hardware. Every plan includes PHP 7.4 through 8.3, MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB 10.x, ImageMagick for image file processing, free Let's Encrypt SSL for authenticated wiki access, cron support for MediaWiki's job queue, and the one-click installer for one-click installation.
Server Requirements
Every Enhance Panel plan at Glitch Servers meets or exceeds these requirements out of the box.
MediaWiki 1.42.x requires PHP 7.4.3 or higher (8.1 recommended). MySQL 5.7.0+ or MariaDB 10.3+. PHP extensions: ctype, dom, fileinfo, intl, json, mbstring, xml. ImageMagick recommended for image thumbnailing and PDF rendering. Cron job recommended for MediaWiki job queue runner (runJobs.php). Free SSL for authenticated user logins.
Why It Matters
Glitch Servers Enhance Panel hosting provides PHP 8.1, MySQL/MariaDB, ImageMagick, all required PHP extensions, cron support, and free SSL - all MediaWiki requirements met on every plan. The one-click installer deploys MediaWiki in under two minutes from the Enhance Panel.

UK-based infrastructure, Enhance Panel control, and the tools MediaWiki developers and users actually need.
The one-click installer deploys MediaWiki directly from the Enhance Panel with database creation and file setup handled automatically. Your wiki is ready for page creation within minutes.
MediaWiki uses ImageMagick for thumbnail generation, image resizing, and PDF-to-image conversion. ImageMagick is available on all Glitch Servers Enhance Panel plans.

Your wiki content and edit history stays on UK servers - important for organisations with data sovereignty requirements or internal knowledge bases containing proprietary information.
