# DokuWiki

[{{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png }}](https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:dokuwiki) DokuWiki is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wiki) software that doesn’t require a database. It is loved by users for its clean and readable [syntax](/wiki/syntax). The ease of maintenance, backup and integration makes it an administrator’s favorite. Built in [access controls](https://www.dokuwiki.org/acl) and [authentication connectors](https://www.dokuwiki.org/auth) make DokuWiki especially useful in the enterprise context and the large number of [plugins](https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugins) contributed by its vibrant community allow for a broad range of use cases beyond a traditional wiki.
