See also: Category:MediaWiki websites

MediaWiki's most famous use has been in Wikipedia and, to a lesser degree, Wikimedia's other projects. But, MediaWiki has also been used to power tens of thousands of other wikis, both public and private.

A number of alternative wiki encyclopedias to Wikipedia run on MediaWiki, including Citizendium, Conservapedia, Metapedia and Scholarpedia.

Wikia, one of the world's most popular wiki farms, runs on MediaWiki. Among the notable wikis that Wikia hosts or has hosted are LyricWiki, Memory Alpha, Uncyclopedia, WoWWiki and Wookieepedia.

Other popular public wikis that run on MediaWiki include wikiHow, AboutUs.org, Mahalo.com and WikiLeaks.

MediaWiki is also used internally by a large number of companies, including Novell and Intel.

Notable usages of MediaWiki within governments include Intellipedia, used by the United States Intelligence Community, and Diplopedia, used by the United States Department of State. United Nations agencies such as the U.N. Development Programme and INSTRAW chose to implement their wikis using MediaWiki because "this software runs Wikipedia and is therefore guaranteed to be thoroughly tested, will continue to be developed well into the future, and future technicians on these wikis will be more likely to have exposure to MediaWiki than any other wiki software."
