  • Mediawiki does have a WYSIWYG editor, but it’s a separate extension (preinstalled, but you need to enable it): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor

    The benefit of Mediawiki is that anyone that’s edited Wikipedia before will know how to use it. It’s a pretty heavy piece of software though, and the learning curve is relatively high if you’ve never hosted it before.

    I used Dokuwiki at my previous job, maybe 15 years ago. It worked well. It doesn’t need a database as it stores all wiki pages as plain text files on disk. I don’t know if it has a WYSIWYG editor though. I’ve never used it on a public-facing site so I’m not sure how authentication works (at my previous job, we hooked it up to Active Directory for auth).

    BookStack and wiki.js are two newer ones that have good reviews, but I don’t have any experience with them.






  • wait for a Steam sale.

    Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

    Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don’t actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there’s no way to get a standalone installer for them.

    Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren’t treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don’t need to worry about that with GOG.
