About MediaWiki
MediaWiki is the PHP wiki software that runs Wikipedia. Detection relies on its ResourceLoader (load.php), the versioned generator tag and its markup classes. A MediaWiki site is also reported as PHP.
- Script URLs through /w/load.php?modules=…
- `<meta name="generator" content="MediaWiki 1.x">`
- Classes such as mw-body and mw-parser-output
- A static landing page like wikipedia.org carries none of these
How We Detect MediaWiki
Our scanner identifies MediaWiki usage through the following signals:
- Script URLs or inline script content matching "/load.php?["']*modules=" (high-confidence tier)
- HTML structure patterns such as "class=["']["']*mw-(body|parser-output|page-title)" (medium-confidence tier)
- Meta tags (generator, description, og:*) matching "MediaWiki N" (medium-confidence tier)
- Signal weights for MediaWiki: 85 points per high-tier match, 55 per medium, 25 per low — a site needs 60+ points before MediaWiki is reported.
