Distribution
There's a huge wiki world beyond Wikimedia Foundation. (Sabine?)

Most downloaded extensions
Even to know, which extensions are popular is nearly impossible. Some data from December 2014 (shared by Legoktm) are interesting. And give a first impression of needed add-ons in wikis beyond the Wikimedia Foundation. Many "top 20" extensions already prove the intense use of MediaWiki in companies and organizations.
Comparisons with Wordpress and other content management systems
(Richard)
- Compare trends. Searches for Wordpress and MediaWIki, Confluence ...
- Comparison searches for wiki and blog: Wiki more popular. But MediaWiki is not the most important player
- Reason: No ecosystem for MediaWiki established, SMW, BlueSpice, Wikia, WMF ... working separated.
