MediaWiki (hereinafter, the Software) is a free and open-source wiki software. The Software was originally developed for Wikipedia, but now the Software runs on many websites and has become the dominant software in its category. The Software is written in the PHP programming language and stores the contents into a set of databases.

The software is optimized to efficiently handle large projects, which can have terabytes of content and hundreds of thousands of hits per second. According to MediaWiki, achieving scalability through multiple layers of caching and database replication has been a major concern for developers. The software has more than 900 configuration settings and more than 1,900 extensions available for enabling various features to be added or changed.

On Wikipedia alone, more than 1000 automated and semi-automated bots and other tools have been developed to assist in editing. It has also been deployed by some companies as an internal knowledge management system, and some educators have assigned students to use the Software for collaborative group projects.

-Groups can then be assigned to (or removed from) users through the <tvar|user-rights>[[Special:UserRights]]</> [[<tvar|help>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Special pages</>|special page]].
-</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:3-->
-See <tvar|1>{{ll|Help:User rights and groups}}</>.
-<!--T:4-->
+===Any user===
-Access to this interface is itself governed by the <tvar|userrights><code>userrights</code></> right, so only users in the <tvar|bureaucrat>{{int|Group-bureaucrat}}</> group can do it (in a default set-up).</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:5-->
-See <tvar|1>{{ll|Manual:Setting user groups in MediaWiki}}</> for information about managing and the assignment of user groups.
-== Creating a new group and assigning permissions to it == <!--T:27-->
+:Any user (including anonymous) is permitted to use the following functions in the version of the ''Software'' that is used for [[Educaship MediaWiki]].
+:{|class="wikitable" width=100% style="text-align:center;"
-<!--T:28-->
-You can create new user groups by defining permissions for the according group name in <code>$wgGroupPermissions['<group-name>']</code> where ''<group-name>'' is the actual name of the group.
-<!--T:29-->
-Additionally to assigning permissions, you should create these three wiki pages with fitting content:
-</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-<group-name>}} <translate><!--T:30--> (content: <code>Name of the group</code>)</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-<group-name>-member}} <translate><!--T:31--> (content: <code>Name of a member of the group</code>)</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Grouppage-<group-name>}} <translate><!--T:32--> (content: <code>Name of the group page</code>)</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:33-->
-By default, bureaucrats can add users to, or remove them from, any group.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:34-->
-However, if you are using <tvar|AddGroups>{{ll|Manual:$wgAddGroups}}</> and <tvar|RemoveGroups>{{ll|Manual:$wgRemoveGroups}}</>, you may need to customize those instead.
-=== Examples === <!--T:35-->
-<!--T:36-->
-This example will create an arbitrary “ninja” group that can block users and delete pages, and whose edits are hidden by default in the recent changes log:
-</translate>
-<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
-$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['bot']    = true;
-$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['block']  = true;
-$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['delete'] = true;
-</syntaxhighlight>
-:<translate><!--T:37--> '''Note:''' the group name cannot contain spaces, so use <code>'random-group'</code> or <code>'random_group'</code> instead of <code>'random group'</code></translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:38-->
-In this example, you would probably also want to create these pages:
-</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-ninja}} <translate><!--T:39--> (content: <code>Ninjas</code>)</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-ninja-member}} <translate><!--T:40--> (content: <code>ninja</code>)</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Grouppage-ninja}} <translate><!--T:41--> (content: <code>Project:Ninjas</code>)</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:42-->
-This will ensure that the group will be referred to as “Ninjas” throughout the interface, and a member will be referred to as a “ninja”, and overviews will link the group name to {{blue|Project:Ninjas}}.
-<!--T:43-->
-This example disables write access (page editing and creation) by default, creates a group named “Write”, and grants it write access.  Users can be manually added to this group via <tvar|UserRights>[[Special:UserRights]]</>:
-</translate>
-<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
-$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
-$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false;
-$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;
-$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false;
-$wgGroupPermissions['Write']['edit'] = true;
-$wgGroupPermissions['Write']['createpage'] = true;
-</syntaxhighlight>
-<translate>
-<!--T:44-->
-In this example, you would probably also want to create these pages:
-</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-Write}} <translate><!--T:45--> (content: <code>Writers</code>)</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Group-Write-member}} <translate><!--T:46--> (content: <code>Writer</code>)</translate>
-* {{blue|MediaWiki:Grouppage-Write}} <translate><!--T:47--> (content: <code>Project:Write</code>)</translate>
-<translate>
-== Removing predefined groups == <!--T:48-->
-<!--T:49-->
-MediaWiki out of the box comes with a number of predefined groups.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:50-->
-Most of these groups can be removed by unsetting the according array keys, among them <code>$wgGroupPermissions['<group-name>']</code>.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:51-->
-For details see below.
-=== Example === <!--T:52-->
-<!--T:53-->
-This example will eliminate the bureaucrat group entirely.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:54-->
-It is necessary to ensure that all six of these variables are unset for any group that one wishes to remove from being listed at <tvar|List>[[Special:ListGroupRights]]</>; however, merely unsetting $wgGroupPermissions will suffice to remove it from <tvar|UserRights>[[Special:UserRights]]</>.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:55-->
-This code should be placed after any <code>require_once</code> lines that add extensions such as <tvar|RenameUser>{{ll|Extension:Renameuser}}</> containing code that gives bureaucrats group permissions by default.
-</translate>
-<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
-unset( $wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat'] );
-unset( $wgRevokePermissions['bureaucrat'] );
-unset( $wgAddGroups['bureaucrat'] );
-unset( $wgRemoveGroups['bureaucrat'] );
-unset( $wgGroupsAddToSelf['bureaucrat'] );
-unset( $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf['bureaucrat'] );
-</syntaxhighlight>
-<translate>
-<!--T:216-->
-In some extensions (Flow, Semantic MediaWiki, etc.), rights are added during extension registration or in a registration function. In this case, it could be necessary to use a registration function in LocalSettings.php to remove some predefined user groups:
-</translate>
-<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
-$wgExtensionFunctions[] = function() use ( &$wgGroupPermissions ) {
-    unset( $wgGroupPermissions['oversight'] );
-    unset( $wgGroupPermissions['flow-bot'] );
-};
-</syntaxhighlight>
-<translate>
-=== Note on the group called “user” === <!--T:202-->
-<!--T:203-->
-With the above mechanism, you can remove the groups sysop, bureaucrat and bot, which - if used - can be assigned through the usual [[<tvar|help>Special:MyLanguage/Help:User rights and groups</>|user permission system]].
-</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:204-->
-However, it is currently impossible to remove the <code>user</code> group.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:205-->
-This group is ''not'' assigned through the usual permission system.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:206-->
-Instead, every logged in user automatically is member of that group.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:207-->
-This is hardcoded in MediaWiki and currently cannot be changed easily.
-== List of permissions == <!--T:56-->
-<!--T:57-->
-The following user rights are available in the latest version of MediaWiki.</translate>
-<translate>
-<!--T:58-->
-If you are using an older version, look at “[[Special:Version]]” on your wiki and see if your version is covered in the “Versions” column.
