Sorry, I was thinking of MediaWiki, but I put TV Tropes because I just finished explaining the parts of MediaWiki I like in the context of explaining TV Tropes, and I don't uses any other MediaWiki sites, so I TV Tropes was much more mentally salient than MediaWiki.
TV Tropes is based on pmwiki, actually, although it's got a great deal of homebrew code on top of that (including much of its markup). MediaWiki's what Wikipedia uses, along with the Less Wrong wiki and many other post-Wikipedia wikis. The two are both written in PHP and accept SQL backends, but they don't have much in common in terms of interface, and there are pretty substantial differences in markup as well.
I haven't spent a lot of time in MediaWiki, but for example it doesn't do pmwiki-style WikiWords; internal links are established via [[double square brackets]] instead.
Ok, so what I'm trying to say is I want WikiWords, approximately like whats offered on TV Tropes, and I was going along with what I thought you were saying because I don't do any other wikis or know much about TV Tropes codebase.
