This website is a good test of who actually clicked the link, not able to read a thing, coming back to the comments to report the bad experience, and who didn't click the link/is a bot, talking about the article as if nothing happened.

The styling isn't broken for everyone (looks fine to me, Firefox on Fedora in dark mode), so I'm afraid the test may have some false positives.

I simply flicked on reader mode (Firefox/Android). But to the OP yes, please do fix your styles!

I've just gotten interested in Dokuwiki for use in a small association I've joined which is slowly realising that just having a free Slack account is not going to cut it for all our shared knowledge needs.

And since we have a WordPress site, Dokuwiki is about a 30-second installation away.

Looking into the project governance/maintenance it looks sturdy- while seemingly one person does a lot of the work, there's a community there. It appears to me, a newcomer, like a project that could last a very long time while being boring and doing exactly what it needs to, no more and no less.

As for the subject of the post itself; for a single person personal wiki, I'd also use Obsidian. I love that I can sync it to my phone with Syncthing, which is a mild pain but free!

Same, FF/Mac.

Nice! I've been resisting Obsidian because I prefer the multimedia capabilities of OneNote, but since I have an old dokuwiki install that has floated around for a long time, I may just use this to finally kick the obsidian tires.

If you’re looking to incorporate markdown into OneNote, you may want to look at the OneMark addin:

I started migrating from OneNote to BookStack wiki. Loving it so far, but am not sure how backups and data exports work.

It's nice to be able to have it publicly available and accessible from any internet connection.
