    I wouldn’t call MediaWiki “modern”

    It is nice don’t get me wrong but it isn’t that amazing

      For a foundation who’s entire ethos is stability, it makes sense and is a welcome change.

      What’s more modern than mediawiki? For me, it’s as modern as it gets. There are great themes

        It always felt a little clunky to me. I’m also not sure if it supports Markdown.

        It isn’t bad don’t get me wrong but I also think it could be improved.

          MediaWiki doesnt natively support Markdown, but there’s an extension called “MarkdownExtraParser” that adds it - I had to use it for our team wiki last year and it works surpisingly well.
