MoinMoin is a wiki engine implemented in Python, initially based on the PikiPiki wiki engine. Its name is a play on the North German greeting Moin, repeated as in WikiWiki. The MoinMoin code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2, or (at the user's option) any later version (except some 3rd party modules that are licensed under other Free Software licenses compatible with the GPL).[2]

Dozens of organizations use MoinMoin to run public wikis,[3] including free software projects Ubuntu, Apache, Debian, and FreeBSD.[4]
MoinMoin faces a supportability gap in 2020, based on the January 2020 deprecation of Python 2.7. The current release of Moinmoin, 1.9.11, is written in Python 2.7 and is not slated to be ported to Python 3. Moinmoin 2.0, based on Python 3.5, is not yet released (as of November 2023), and "development is very slow going," according to their Python3 support page.[5] Installation of Moinmoin 1.9.11 now yields multiple warnings of this deprecation.
