As usual I have searched the WWW but I obviously don't how to use Google because I couldn't find an answer. My situation is this: We have an internal wiki knowledge base using MediaWiki version 1.14.

Working principle
This site exists as a practical knowledge base built from real-world experience across systems, platforms, and technologies since 1999. Much of the content documents solutions, edge cases, and working patterns that were learned through investigation where documentation was incomplete or absent, and is shared to reduce the same friction for others.
