#82I need one function in a wiki platform that I haven't seen so far. When I write text, in its WYSIWYG editor, I need an ability to paste in an image (a screenshot that I just grabbed, let's say) and for it to automatically upload it and embed it into text. Does this support something like that?
XWiki:
* CKEditor: https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/CKEdit...
* Syntax: https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide...
Actually any wiki pages can define a Class and how to display this class and / or instances of a Class:
* https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/...
* https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/App%20...
The Script Macro is useful to make some dashboards ( https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Script... )
I've deployed this for the internal documentation inside a company I worked for (MediaWiki was a no-go even with a visual editor).
For each new feature, I was developing inside a clean new wiki, than I exported the changes once I was sure everything was okay. It is way more easy then to upgrade to the new XWiki version.

#83Wikis are also useful for note-taking, I'm using Wiki.js to document a D&D campaign to have some canonical reference of what actually happened in past sessions.

#84Slightly related PSA: Everyone should consider running a wiki locally just for yourself. It's like being able to organize your brain. I just got into it two days ago and basically spent the whole weekend dumping things into it in a way I can actually browse and revisit, like the short stories I'd written, spread out across Notes.app and random folders. You don't need to run WAMP, MySQL, Apache, phpmyadmin or anything…
Vimwiki also works very well.

Ah, so worthless cynicism and condescension after all. I see why you made a novelty account for this. But I wonder if you see the irony in promoting yourself into this role of inquisitor? I get it, you're mad that I admitted I only have two days of experience while telling people how to get started in one of the most important software platforms in the world (it's how Wikipedia works) -- I'm not exactly making new so…

Ah, so "edification" is what you think you're bringing to HN with your novelty attack-dog account. As per your account's bio description, I would wonder how you feel about the "fomentation" of cynicism and negativity on HN as well.
Alright, we've had our fun. I hope @dang detaches this thread.

By 'MediaWiki' I'm referring to the wikis and wiki farms that use MediaWiki or a variant of it. This includes: - Wikimedia - FANDOM - Gamepedia - Miraheze FANDOM is the most massive wiki farm with over 360,000+ (as of 2016) wikis[1], which I'd give at lowest an estimate of 60% of the total number of wikis on the net, and is 88th on the Alexa rankings.[2] FANDOM is a wiki powerhouse, and you bet it uses MediaWiki. Exc…
Gamepedia was bought by Fandom too, FYI.
They're apparently working hard to upgrade and merge their diverging MediaWiki codebases; some details on this very interesting blogpost: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:MisterWoodhouse/...

Why did you pick Wiki.js for campaign management as opposed to something like Notion?
Re: Wiki.js
#90We needed a documentation solution at work. MY coworker had some experience with Wiki.js.
What sold me on it was that you can use markdown and it can keep itself synced with a git repo.
This gives us plan text files that are tracked in a repo. It uses the user as the author, so now I can "code review" edit's to our wiki.
The content of the wiki is easily cloned by cloning the git repo. It is markdown in folders so if wiki.js dies at some point I could write a pandoc script to turn it into web pages again, you do loose all of the cool UI features.
