# DokuWiki

![DokuWiki](wiki:dokuwiki-128.png) DokuWiki is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source [wiki](wp>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](doku>acl) and [authentication connectors](doku>auth) make DokuWiki especially useful in the enterprise context and the large number of [plugins](doku>plugins) contributed by its vibrant community allow for a broad range of use cases beyond a traditional wiki.
