GPLX MediaWiki

Local-first MediaWiki bootstrap for Windows with an accessibility-focused workflow.

Quick start

1. Install prerequisites:

• Git
• Node.js 20+
• PHP 8.1+ (XAMPP/WampServer or standalone)

2. Install Node tooling:

npm install

3. Initialize MediaWiki core:

npm run mw:init

4. Install MediaWiki PHP dependencies:

npm run mw:deps

Or run both steps with one command:

npm run mw:setup

5. Start local dev server:

npm run dev

Then open: http://127.0.0.1:8080 and continue setup at /mw-config/index.php

Accessibility checks

Run static/runtime checks against local pages:

npm run a11y:all

Notes

• This setup runs without Docker.
• WCAG AA is the required baseline.
• AAA improvements are tracked as best effort.
