Woogle4MediaWiki is a MediaWiki extension that aims to improve search and knowledge sharing in wikis. It addresses the artificial separation of information seeking and provision in wikis. Woogle collects information needs from query logs, guides contributions by showing where needs are greatest, and allows collaboration through social search features like commenting and discussion pages for queries. The tool connects MediaWiki with the TeamWeaver search platform for enhanced search across different data sources.
