The official MediaWiki Docker images ship 8.3.36 now: pull and recreate to be safe. Can't update yet? Take the wiki offline until you can.
If your wiki is hosted with us, it is already patched.
Use AI with Wikibase and Wikidata!
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to @wikidata and any Wikibase you run via our open-source MediaWiki MCP Server. Run queries without knowing SPARQL, create and enrich items, or import from Wikidata into your Wikibase.

Same question, different user, different answer, by design!
An admin asks about executive pay and gets a cited answer. A regular employee gets none: the AI Assistant only draws on pages the asking user may read.

Choose the AI behind your wiki's answers!
Configure your MediaWiki chatbot via the admin panel: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, Apertus, or your own self-hosted model. Tune the chat features and apply your branding.

Ask your wiki in any language!
The AI Assistant replies in your language, even when the wiki content is in another. A German question on an English wiki gets a German answer, with citations.

Get sources for every answer!
Ask your wiki a question and the AI Assistant answers from your content, citing the pages it drew from. Click a citation, land on the page.
AI you can verify beats AI you have to trust.
