Django Wiki is a mature and feature-rich wiki system built specifically for Django applications. It provides complex functionality while maintaining simple integration capabilities and an excellent user interface, all built on Django's powerful model system.

Key Features

  • Django-Native Architecture: Built from the ground up for Django, making it a natural choice for Django-based projects. Uses Django models for data storage and integrates seamlessly with Django's authentication and permission systems.

  • Hierarchical Structure: Implements a tree structure for wiki pages using django-mptt, allowing for efficient organization of content with unlimited nesting levels and fast database operations.

  • Plugin System: Features a robust plugin architecture that allows the wiki to grow in a structured way. Plugins can extend functionality without modifying the core system.

  • Markdown-Based: Uses Markdown for content formatting, providing a simple yet powerful way to create and edit content while maintaining readability.

  • Revision Control: Built-in revision system tracks all changes, allowing for content history viewing and rollbacks. Designed for scalability without relying on third-party revision control.
