MediaWiki Security
Security is taken seriously by the MediaWiki developers, as MediaWiki powers Wikipedia, one of the world's most popular websites. Steps are taken to prevent common attack vectors such as XSS and CSRF. SQL injection and RCE are unheard of in MediaWiki. As the world's most popular Open Source wiki software, MediaWiki has many eyes on it, and security issues are quickly fixed.
Use the wiki admin panel to configure user permissions, authentication settings including two-factor authentication (MFA / 2FA), approval settings, and more. ProWiki comes with many MediaWiki extensions focused on the security requirements of the typical organization.
Accountability and Traceability
MediaWiki comes with full version history. Every edit is logged and can be traced back to the user who made it. You can compare versions and see who changed what and when. You can roll back changes and even restore deleted content.
MediaWiki gives you many options to keep track of what is going on in your wiki. You can subscribe to change notifications for specific pages, see what changes a specific user made, or watch the global change log ("Recent Changes"). Use advanced filtering options to only see changes that are relevant to you. Example: file uploads by new users.
For increased transparency, users can leave edit summaries to explain their changes or discuss changed on "Talk pages".
