Forum:Local or private wiki

Hi,

For a movie/game project I'm working on, I want to use Wiki software to store all information locally on my computer (localhost). Much like how the various game/movie wiki's, such as Star Wars, look like but for development. I don't want anyone to find this wiki (yet) and to occupy space on the webserver for something that isn't really a Wiki. I also don't always have an internet connection.

Now, I've been using MediaWiki with WAMP to do this and it works. But I'm actually used to Wikia's skin and editors (probably one of the few) and MediaWiki is not as advanced and as fast, even with extensions. So what I'm asking, is it possible to use Wikia's software on my local wiki so that I can make a Wiki that looks just like Wikia.

I've found svn.wikia-code.com, would this be of any help? I can see it contains files similar to MediaWiki, like skins and extensions, but I don't know where to start.

Best regards,

 * I would like to know this as well! An offline version would be extremely helpful. To be honest, I think there people that would even pay for that. 13:41, August 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Special:Contact is your best bet. As for performance, adding Wikia extensions to a MediaWiki install will not make it faster. If your MediaWiki install is slow, it's because your computer is slower than Wikia's servers (probably alot slower). -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 4 Aug 2011 8:39 AM Pacific
 * Ok, I'll do that. And yes, MediaWiki is slower because my computer is slower, I know that, it's just that Wikia's editor is easier and 'faster' to use, making editing much faster. Loading a page is slower. -- Nivaoo 16:19, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
