COMO NASCEU O
FORMATO MEDIAWIKI.
MediaWiki markup is the wikitext syntax used by Wikipedia and the tens of thousands of wikis powered by the MediaWiki software. Magnus Manske wrote the original "Phase II" PHP code in 2001-2002, which the Wikimedia Foundation renamed MediaWiki in 2003. The syntax is a unique blend: double brackets for internal links `[[like this]]`, double curly braces for templates `{{like this}}`, lists via leading asterisks, and HTML-ish tags for complex formatting.
Wikipedia’s 60 million+ articles across 300+ language editions are all stored in MediaWiki markup. Dozens of wiki hosts (Fandom, WikiLeaks, OpenStreetMap Wiki) and tens of thousands of self-hosted MediaWiki instances rely on .mediawiki or .wiki files. The format is deliberately peculiar — parsing it is famously hard because valid syntax depends on context (templates recursively expand, and templates can define new syntax). Parsoid, the Wikimedia HTML parser, is essentially a dedicated research project.
CURIOSIDADES E
FATOS INTERESSANTES.
Wikipedia's 60+ million articles across 300 languages are all stored in MediaWiki markup — the largest unified corpus of wikitext on the planet.
The original MediaWiki code was written by Magnus Manske in 2001-2002 as "Phase II" — replacing an earlier Perl "Phase I".
Templates are the killer feature — double curly braces expand to reusable blocks, making Wikipedia's info boxes possible.
Parsing MediaWiki markup is famously hard — Parsoid, the HTML renderer, is a purpose-built research project that took years.
Fandom (formerly Wikia) hosts over 350 000 wikis on MediaWiki — fan communities from video games to obscure TV shows.
VANTAGENS E
LIMITAÇÕES.
Vantagens
- Powers Wikipedia — battle-tested at planet scale.
- Templates enable reusable content blocks.
- Internal links, categories, and interwiki references work out of the box.
- Huge existing tooling and translation ecosystem.
Limitações
- Parsing is notoriously hard — context-sensitive by design.
- Authoring requires learning the unique syntax.
- Lacks standardization — no formal spec, just the MediaWiki implementation.
- Markdown has eroded wiki use cases for smaller projects.

Sim, para um alta degree. padrão fonts, headings, lists, tables, images, hyperlinks e page structure transfer cleanly. Custom fonts substitute para o closest match if not embedded; obscure layout features unique to MEDIAWIKI (frames, legacy macros) may flatten to static content no target formato.
