I have two other wikis ( a public and private wiki) that are in Mediawiki, on my web host. I didn’t get so far into coding the markup, but I had decided that I’d follow MediaWiki’s syntax, since it was the most popular wiki software. And I contribute to varied other wikis, which are on varied other wiki platforms.
