The Moodle wiki(s) enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change the content. This page can serve to provide information about different Wikis that may be used with Moodle.

Wiki Standard

Link to the Wiki MoodleDoc page This is the standard Wiki which is part of 1.5 . It was developed from a version of Erfurt wiki. A flavor of it is still being used in Moodle 1.8.

See the MoodleDocs Wiki module or "How to wiki" page for more information.

Initially built by Mike Churchward & Michael Schneider

Dfwiki

This is an addin wiki for Moodle. Dfwiki is the MoodleDoc page. DFWiki is an alternative wiki module to the current (1.5.3) Moodle Wiki module.

Dfwiki for Moodle 1.5.3 can be found in dfwiki home page, and in the Moodle CVS. The dfwiki english home page is here.

Team leader is Marc Alier (Ludo).

Erfurt wiki

Named for the developer's hometown in Germany, it was the basis for the standard wiki included with Moodle.

New wiki

Currently is this wiki available as a plug in for 1.6.x 1.7.x and 1.8.x. "We (Dfwiki team) hope it will be the standard wiki in Moodle 1.8", says Team leader Marc Alier (ludo). He was mistaken for two releases.. According to the Moodle Roadmap NWiki is definitevelly into Moodle 2.0

The NewWiki16 plugin has more MediaWiki(MoodleDocs)features. For example, the characters that create, the automatic headers (= = or == ==), automatic numbers (# or ##) and bullets (* or **) work. It also has a page discussion tab and provides a page outline based on headers at the top. There are two HTML edit tool bars available. The 1.6.x version does have a site map on a "navigation" tab, but not the standard pages found on the Choose Wiki links pulldown.

Tiddlywiki integration

New wiki can interoperate with the Ajax based portable tidlywiki. See Tiddlywiki integration

MediaWiki

This is the "big" wiki. Will Taylor says "I have MediaWiki integrated now with Moodle versions 1.5.3 and 1.6, very easy to set up. Users need to log in separately to MediaWiki to edit, but they are authenticated off the Moodle database, so use the same username & password without needing to create a separate account on MediaWiki. Using the MediaWiki permissions system, I have editing privileges reserved for registered, logged-in users, and read privileges open to the world - but you could configure this in many ways if you wish. Check out the various projects created in MediaWiki (WikiPedia, Wiktionary, &c.) to see the potential of this platform."

MediaWiki should be used as a site-specific wiki. The standard Moodle wiki, or Dfwiki should be used as course-specific wiki.
