gollark: Right now I don't think it offers significant *feature* improvements over mediawiki, but I have some neat ideas MW cannot practically do.
gollark: Don't use that. It makes them host HTTP for your domain and send 301 redirects to somewhere else.
gollark: - good contextual backlinks- small code base, can actually be read, also lightweight- simple Markdown support instead of horrible, *horrible* custom wikitext implementation- cooler login page- single user design
