<p>Pencil Wiki is a simple wiki solution for your WordPress.</p>
<p>Basically, it adds new roles & capabilities that allow your users to add/edit wiki pages (custom post type).</p>
<p>It comes with several widgets and custom templates (that you can override) fully integrated with the <em>Twenty Twelve</em> theme.</p>
<p>Pages are edited backend, but there is a menu on every wiki page with the necessary links; and a wiki index / search input.</p>
<p>Only Administrators and Editors can create new wikis (top-level pages); and Wiki Authors can add pages to it.<br />
Administrators and Editors can also LOCK some wiki pages (for any reason) or branches; which means they will not be editable anymore by other users.</p>
<p>I voluntarily made the plugin quite simple to avoid making it intrusive (javascript, css, …) and put too many features. I recommend to run it with those plugins :<br />
* <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/member" rel="ugc">Members</a>Members by Justin Tadlock, to manage roles and capabilities<br />
* <a href="http://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt" rel="nofollow ugc">Breadcrumb NavXT</a> by John Havlik, to generate breadcrumbs<br />
* <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-footnotes" rel="ugc">Simple Footnotes</a> by Andrew Nacin, to put footnotes in your wiki pages.</p>
<p>WordPress has a revision system, which is perfect for a wiki.<br />
Unfortunately,  I didn’t find a way to customize it (add revision messages, etc).</p>

Knowledge Base documentation & wiki plugin – BasePress Docs

We're using BasePress on iconicwp.com. We chose it because we were able to extend it to cater to our specific needs.

On top of that, the support has been great when required!

Great and Extensible!


I chose this plugin mainly because it allowed multiple products to have their own knowledge base, something that sets this plugin apart from other plugins.It was easy to get going with nice out of the box designs that fitted well.I quickly upgraded to Pro, not that I actually needed the pro features ( nice that they are, the free version does a lot ) but because I want to support the plugin developer as I wanted this plugin to exist for the the long term.Being a plugin developer myself, I haven't need that much support, but when I have asked I have had quality support.Also the code is nicely written, with templates and hooks that make customisation straight forward.


Excellent multi knowledgebase plugin


Cool plugin that rolls together a lot of things you could patch together with other plugins but in an easy-to-use complete package that just works. 


Had an issue, support quickly addressed
