django-wiki is a wiki system built as a reusable Django application, storing articles as Django models with Markdown editing and a plugin architecture. It provides complex wiki functionality (permissions, revisions, attachments, search) designed for simple integration into existing Django projects.

Use cases

• add a wiki to an existing django project
• self-hosted knowledge base for a team
• internal documentation site with markdown editing
• collaborative article writing with revision history
• replace mediawiki with a python/django solution
• permission-controlled documentation for organizations

When to choose

• you already run Django and want wiki features as a pluggable app
• you need fine-grained permissions and revision history on articles
• you prefer data stored in Django models over a separate wiki engine
• you want a self-hosted, GPL-licensed wiki in Python

When to avoid

• your project is not built on Django
• you need a standalone wiki without writing any Python
• you need a lightweight static-site documentation generator instead
• you require non-GPL licensing for derivative work
