CUSTIS
CUSTIS :"Our company began to use MediaWiki in 2004. Many organizations considered only classic documentation tools and strongly regulated documentation procedures at that time - for example, SGML Docbook, LaTeX and various proprietary tools. Knowledge bases were often represented only by SGML project documentation, heaps of Word and CHM documents on shared disks, long rolls of e-mail and even comments in bugtrackers. We decided to use MediaWiki and since then, thanks to its excellent extensibility and simplicity of creating a new content, MediaWiki became a powerful platform for corporate knowledge base with a lot of features. We maintain our own stable MediaWiki distribution named Mediawiki4Intranet; we've made it free & opensource project so other people and companies could also use and support our improvements. For all that, in average, only one employee supports and improves it on a full-time basis.
Now, in the beginning of the year 2013, almost 200 employees work at CUSTIS, and our knowledge base consists of 12 running Mediawiki4Intranet instances with more than 50000 articles.
We use MediaWiki not only as the knowledge base platform in the conventional meaning, but also to keep meeting records, maintain client documentation and even intranet blogs and forums.
And there is more to come - the progress goes on."

End Point Corporation
End Point Corporation :"We use MediaWiki for our private intranet to keep track of much of our business.
We have added some customizations (HTTP basic auth logins, a 'watch everything' option) and have installed MediaWiki for several of our clients as well.
Our experience has been good.
What attracted us to MediaWiki is that its markup format is now widely known due to the popularity of Wikipedia, and we wanted to make it easy for users to edit pages.
Installation was fairly straightforward, although some configuration that doesn't match Wikipedia's needs (such as a closed login-only site) wasn't simple, and patches that the developers think won't ever be used by Wikipedia have not been accepted.
But running MediaWiki has been a breeze.
[Our clients] found having a Wiki to be very valuable.
It frees them from the mess of emailing word processing documents back and forth, with conflicting versions, no clear edit history, and no interlinking.
Keeping everything on the server, accessible via a web browser, has been very helpful."

NASA
NASA :"The “Old Way”: Multiple file type/sources lead to conflicting information, poor revision control. Updates required multiple files to be revised, file deletion or override was not uncommon. The “Wiki Way”: A single source for information; Outside databases and sources can be linked from wiki pages; Better revision control; Not just file searchable, but content searchable: semantic.
Wiki = One stop shop for information; Helps reveal gaps in knowledge management; Promotes group ownership of knowledge. Until [the] wiki was implemented, Meeting Minutes were captured via email – Information was lost in crowded inboxes – Cumbersome to search. Extension:Semantic MediaWiki was used to create Meeting Minutes form: served as a catalyst to get new users involved in the wiki.
[The wiki] received NASA JSC Director Innovation Award in 2013."
— Scott Wray, Daren Welsh and James Montalvo, EVA Wiki (NASA Mission Operations).
