I looked at it and discovered it was quite a lot of hassle. If someone

Oh god, why? What’s wrong with SQLite? We are nowhere near the scale

There is something to do with how mediawiki locks the DB when using
sqlite so only 1 person can use the wiki at a time
Resisty might be fun addition, but currently only works with Wordpress.

We have had problems with the wiki being slow and sometimes erroring out

Do what Wikipedia does: Caching. MediaWiki is slow to render.
Caching would be good. I'd like to also fix the underlying problem with
