About VaultWiki
"The powerful editing options in VaultWiki allow your community to collaborate to create and publish content pages for your site. Multiple users can edit the same page, and your staff can moderate changes as they are made. VaultWiki maintains a detailed history of every page, making it just as easy to reverse unwanted changes.

Use to create general site content, user manuals, wikis... VaultWiki works by extending vBulletin's forum and permissions systems - easily create and designate forum areas for different purposes. With a little imagination, VaultWiki can be configured to do almost anything."

i try to uninstall wiki, i got that message:
"Confirm Deletion: VaultWiki

Are you sure you want to uninstall the product called 'VaultWiki'?
(productid: ces_nwsp_spec)

This action cannot be undone.

Can't access https://www.vaultwiki.org/ on EI but okay on FF.

Just out of curiosity, and maybe because I'm a complete newb, but, why would I pay for VaultWiki when I can download and install a MediaWiki page for free?

What's the differences? Pros and cons to each? Seems to me I would just go to MediaWiki and use that, but, again...I'm a newb..maybe I'm missing the point.

***EDIT****

Can a mod please delete this post? I found my answer within the thread...sometimes it helps to search.

I must say that I don't know what answer you found and would you buy or not VaultWiki, but for me, I'm very satisfied with VaultWiki.

One of most useful features is auto-links. When you have certain wiki article, everywhere in your forum where its name is mentioned it becomes link to that wiki article.

Of course, having it so tightly integrated with vB is also very big plus for me. Price could look as big problem, but it depends on you. If your forum starts making money, why not spend some of it on very useful software that would help you make even more of it? And yes, that depends what type of community you're trying to build. I agree that there are forums that couldn't benefit from having wiki. But most of them would.

This product is really good but it does have some random issues for instance;

An article of mine vanished after re-appearing, I don't know what happened or could have caused this.

But overall a solid product. I just hope it can be improved in terms of renaming articles and fixing the all of a sudden random issues.

Really nice plugins to manages articles for vB thx a lot

What does this mean when I am trying to add a child forum and add Wiki to it??

The forum could not be added to the namespace. Create the forum with the Wiki mode disabled, and configure the namespace in the Namespace Manager to include this forum. You can then activate the forum's Wiki mode.

this product is a masterpiece, at the beginning, you may just don't like it's not-wiki-like look(as you are similar with mediawiki, I tried vbmediawiki, spent quite time and integrated well, but soon, you will find that it affects the performance of your site ), but once you start using Vault, you recognize it's the right one adding wiki functions to vb, I just bought the 3rd premium one.
