ownCloud vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is ownCloud?
After years on the 10.x maintenance line, ownCloud Classic is finally cutting 11.0.0 candidates
Two tracks run side by side. The 10.16.x line continues as maintenance, with 10.16.4 published as a security release and upgrade strongly recommended for all installations. In parallel, ownCloud Server 11.0.0 has reached its third release candidate, with rc2 and rc3 consisting of version-string bumps and no code change.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.
Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

After years on the 10.x maintenance line, ownCloud Classic is finally cutting 11.0.0 candidates
◆ Current state
Two tracks run side by side. The 10.16.x line continues as maintenance, with 10.16.4 published as a security release and upgrade strongly recommended for all installations. In parallel, ownCloud Server 11.0.0 has reached its third release candidate, with rc2 and rc3 consisting of version-string bumps and no code change.
◆ Where it's heading
The interesting movement is the 11.0.0 candidate train — the first major-version step for Classic after a long run of 10.x point releases. The release notes attached to the candidates say nothing about capability, so what 11.0.0 actually changes for administrators is not yet visible here; the tags only show it converging.
◆ Prediction
A general 11.0.0 release is the obvious next step once the candidate train stops iterating, with the 10.16.x line likely continuing to receive security backports alongside it.

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.
◆ Where it's heading
The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
