## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, markdown, web-framework
- domain: web-development, documentation, cms
- platform: python, self-hosted
- tags: django, wiki, knowledge-base, markdown-editing, django-app, web-server
