Looking for Wikipedia mimicking software or script to run wiki site

[trader]

If I want to run a Wickapedia kind of website where users may post their own articles and content does anyone know where to buy the needed wiki software or script to do that, similar to their website? Thanks.

It's open source, just download your own copy:

Wow, that was fast, thanks.

P.S. I am not good at installing php and scripts. Do you know anyone reliable who could do it for me at a reasonable cost?

Actually you might be able to handle this one yourself since MediaWiki ships with an installation utility which will enable you to install it using your web browser.

It is quite simple to do, they use mediawiki. There are other wiki applications which are simpler but I think mediawiki is good enough.

From my experience,
People still find the wiki code for text decoration tougher.

The installation is simple. Read the manual. If you still need help after reading the manual, ask me and I might be able to help.
