What Is MediaWiki

MediaWiki is a free and open-source wiki software package written in PHP.
It serves as the platform for Wikipedia and the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, which deliver content in over 280 languages to more than half a billion people each month.
MediaWiki's reliability and robust feature set have earned it a large and vibrant community of third-party users and developers.

Features

• feature-rich and extensible, both on-wiki and with hundreds of extensions;
• scalable and suitable for both small and large sites;
• simple to install, working on most hardware/software combinations;
• available in your language.

Manage MediaWiki On Azure

• Use any FTP tool you prefer to connect to the site (you can get the credentials on Azure portal);
• Customize LocalSettings.php generated from installation;
• Upload LocalSettings.php to folder /home/site/wwwroot;

        ## For Example: Modified the URL path to the logo. 
        ## $wgLogo = "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/wiki.png"; 
        $wgLogo = "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/mediawiki.png";

Many thanks to the Wikimedia community for testing and suggestions.

mediawiki-azure's Issues

Websites goes to sleep

I have used this to create my MediaWiki site. Without any other extensions or changes, the website will take 30-45 seconds to startup if no recent activity (20 minutes or more).

I have "Always On" enabled
I have tried S1 and S3 sizes
MySQL is ClearDb off box.

Is there any settings that could help this? Maybe something with .user.ini?
