October 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table v2026-10.8, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

5 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. MediaWiki was named 5 times in IT documentation, where Hudu led with 17%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named MediaWiki for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for MediaWiki yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated MediaWiki across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“MediaWiki and DokuWiki are the top choices due to their open-source nature and lack of licensing fees” Mistral Small · IT documentation · budget prompt · first choice

“MediaWiki is completely free, extensible and proven for extensive technical documentation.” Muse Glimmer 30B · IT documentation · budget prompt · alternative

“MediaWiki is an excellent free alternative” GLM 4.7 FlashX · IT documentation · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Not recommended for critical IT documentation, especially as your organization grows beyond early-stage startup status.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · IT documentation · negative prompt · hard negative

“require devops expertise to secure/maintain. No out-of-box IT features” Grok 4.1 Fast · IT documentation · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named MediaWiki. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 13 of the 14 answers that named MediaWiki and are not a share of its labels.

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when MediaWiki's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as MediaWiki, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for MediaWiki by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where MediaWiki is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name MediaWiki, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
